Covering approximately 1,200 hectares, it is home to more than 147,000 date palm trees and over 100 varieties of palm. The oasis has been sustained for over 3,000 years by the ancient Falaj irrigation system, a UNESCO-recognized engineering achievement that continues to distribute water to the farms today. In 2011, Al Ain Oasis became part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognizing its outstanding cultural significance and its role in the history of human settlement in the region.
