Back from the future to the past. - Al Ain was on my bucket list as it has a significant role in UAE history, especially with its links to explorer Wilfred Thesiger, whose book, Arabian Sands, is a must read. The place did not disappoint. Al Jahili Fort is enthralling. The visit to the camel market was interesting, but not for the faint of heart, as camels are a beast of burden and supply to many, not pampered pets.. The trip up the mountain road was superb. It is considered one of the best mountain road drives in the world, some say the best. Our guide and driver Aslam was great and he sure knew how to negotiate the mountains. I like the desert and its history. It provides a glimpse into a past that has been swallowed up mercilessly by Abu Dhabi and even more by over the top Dubai. Get out of the mall and explore. Marks out of 10. Ten

A more authentic view of the UAE - Our guide, Aslam, was very knowledgeable and provided an overall great experience. I would highly recommend this trip for those looking to get away from the shiny new city and out into a more authentic and historic experience of the UAE.

Amazing Tour - Absolutely amazing tour and covered all the places very patiently. The knowledge of the guide Mr Lateef was also very good and he was very calm while explaining everything he did not ask us to rush for anything. Very pleasant ride from Abu Dhabi to Al Ain and back super good food even though we are vegetarian. Thank you Mr Lateef for amazing hospitality.

A memorable experience - I have been on Al Ain Oasis Tour and I liked very much the service provided by Emirates Tours & Safari for its professionalism and comfort. I particularly appreciated the excellent communication with the staff, the accurate information and the prompt responses to some questions. All the activities were very well organized. The guide, Sudath was a knowledgeable and kind person. I appreciated all information he provided with great professionalism and with an obvious pleasure. He explained a lot about the local culture and traditions, in particular about those related to the city of Al Ain. He also was a skilled and calm driver making me feel completely safe during a long way including also the curves on the mountain Jebel Hafeet. He brought a lot of energy and made a pleasant, comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. I enjoyed everything I visited, but especially the real authentic world in Al Ain, the fort AL Jahili, the oasis, the camel market, the peak of Jebel Hafeet. I hope I can return to Abu Dhabi soon to do more tours with Emirates Tours & Safari, which I highly recommend. Gabriela, Romania
