History in the rising
Al Ain, the traditional seat of the Sheikhs is perhaps
the most traditional of the main cities in the UAE and it
is here that the desert life is best demonstrated. A true
series of oases, there is evidence that habitation in this
glorious corner of the world has continued for millennia.
A visit to the Al Ain National Museum and Sheikh Zayed
Palace Museum, is a must, as is a trip to the camel race
track and the livestock market. The wealth of culture to
be found in this formerly vital desert trading centre includes
bazaars that dates back to the 18th century. You can also
discover a date palm grove with the ancient 'falaj' - irrigation
system and watch the bargaining at the camel market. Following
this, we will head to Jebel Hafeet, the great mountain that
enjoys a remarkable location that overlooks the beauty of
Al Ain city. We will also visit the Hot Springs situated
at the foot of the mountain to explore that healing water
is found abundantly in this area, subsequent to this very
amusing tour, we will have lunch in a 5-star hotel. After
which we head back to Abu Dhabi.
