What To Expect

After pickup from your Dubai hotel, travel by air-conditioned coach to Al Ain, the second-largest city in the UAE’s Abu Dhabi emirate.

Cradled by the Hajar Mountains on the UAE-Oman border and dubbed the ‘Garden City’ for its greenery, Al Ain was the birthplace of the UAE’s founder father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and the site of the Middle East’s first Bedouin settlements.

Admire the palm-lined boulevards leading into the city, and visit Hili Archaeological Park, home to some Bronze Age ruins. Explore the mud-brick house and tombs, and view artifacts discovered here at the museum.

Take photos at an oasis and Al Ain Zoo, and after lunch (own expense), explore Al Jahili Fort, one of the UAE’s prettiest buildings. See the towers and ramparts as you hear how this 1891 fort served to protect the city’s palm groves and as a summer base of the ruling family.

Next, pass by the camel market and visit the hot springs beneath the Hajar Mountains. Paddle in the warm waters before driving up Jebel Hafeet, the UAE’s highest peak, looming over Al Ain.

Take photos at the summit before finishing with a hotel drop-off in Dubai.

Not that attractive
Stefano T, Oct 2019
Very little to see, places are not that attractive and much overrated. 5 minutes spent in the oasis, with nothing to do. The fort is closed to visitors. The "hot spring" is a fountain with water coming out of a plastic pipe. The "one of the most scenic mountain routes" is depressing, poor view from the top, nothing to do, all fenced, can't walk anywhere, can't touch anything. Restaurants are closed during the day, so can't even sit and have a coffee at the top of the mountain. All is pretty miserable.
Excellent day tour with plenty of...
Nancy_M, Apr 2017
Excellent day tour with plenty of scenery variety from desert to mountains to oasis. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend to anyone who wants to see modern day to historical way of life just 45 years ago.
