Al Ain City Tour

The Arabic word Al Ain means "The Spring" and was taken as the city's name due to the abundant ground water springs in the area. It is a stunningly green city with an incredible number of public parks, gardens and wide boulevards. Dramatically situated against the mountain backdrop of the 1300-meter-high Jebel Hafit, for years Al Ain has been an important stop on the caravan trail.

The adventure starts with stop at the nation's largest museum located within the walls of Al Jahili Fort, which fabulously exhibits the magnificent archaeological excavations from Jebel Hafeet. The next stop is the quaint and busy camel market also considered as the largest camel market in the Middle East. Our journey then continues to the nearby Buraimi Oasis in the Omani territory where we observe the 2,000-year-old irrigation system feeding the date gardens. Appetizing lunch will be served high above the city, in the five star mountain hotel of Jebel Hafeet where we enjoy a spectacular view over the whole Al Ain area. Subsequently we drive back to Dubai.
