Highlights
-
Sheikh Zayed Palace Museum - Shiekh Zayed Palace Museum is one of the best-reinstated forts in the Abu Dhabi emirate. The museum showcases the everyday life in a ruler’s fort when the late Sheikh Zayed and his family resided in the palace prior to 1966. The Bedouin style architecture dates back to 1937 and was converted into a museum in 1998 as a main cultural and tourist attraction.
We can see the contrast of modern design elements with traditional Emirati influences throughout the property. The Palace was built and restored using locally sourced and environmentally friendly building materials including clay, adobe and plaster stones, as well as palm tree elements for roofing rooms, ceilings, doors, and windows. - Al Jahili Fort - The fort complex at Al Jahili contains within one site many of the different individual elements of traditional mudbrick architecture preserved singly in other parts of Al Ain, including a round watchtower, a square fort with defensive towers at its corners, two large walled enclosures and a mosque outside the walls. Recent work has uncovered the remains of a falaj or covered irrigation channel.
- Camel Souk - A visit to the camel and livestock market, The wealth of culture to be found in the formerly vital desert trading center includes a bazaar that dates back to the 18th century.
- Jebel Hafit - Jabal Hafeet is a mountain in the region of Tawam, on the border of the United Arab Emirates and Oman, which may be considered an outlier of Al Hajar Mountains in Eastern Arabia. Rising 1,240 metres, Jebel Hafit is the emirate’s highest peak, and UAE’s second

The UAE seen differently from the common imagination - Visit Al Ain and surroundings:
We had the pleasure of being guided by latheef, an expert, welcoming, courteous and helpful guide. The visit includes the Fort, the palace museum, the oasis, the camel market, the second highest mountain in the UAE, Jebel Hafeet on the border with Oman and the Mubarazzah gardens. About 9 hours including lunch at the hotel, water and transport. The proposed price is right. We recommend this tour to everyone who comes to Abu Dhabi

From Abu Dhabi via Al Ain to Dubai - We had a great time in Al Ain today and enjoyed the tour with our very friendly, helpful driver Aslam. He knew a lot about the different highlights with a lot of background knowledge and was very motivated to show and explain them to us so that we could see and learn a lot about these beautiful places. Aslam was very accommodating to our wishes and looked after us well. So it was a relaxed day with everything we saw. We saw, among other things, Fort Al Jahili, Sultan bin Zayed Fort, the camel market, lunch in a good restaurant, Mount Jabeel Hafee and the hot springs. A big thank you to him and eatours, who also made it possible for us to continue on to the hotel in Dubai! 👍😊 Dieter and Susanne

Interesting excursion - We loved the choice of places it encompases. It would be much more interested if the driver provided more info when you actually there. He also needs to communicate with all passengers, not only with the person in the front seat. Al Ain oasis needs to be taken care of more.
