    Located in the heart of Al Ain, it was built in 1891 under the orders of Sheikh Zayed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan ("Zayed the First") to protect the city's valuable palm groves and water resources. Today, it is a beautifully restored cultural landmark and one of the most popular attractions in Al Ain.

  2. Sheikh Zayed Palace Museum

    one hour Admission included

    *Temporarily closed*

    The Al Ain Palace Museum, commonly known as the Sheikh Zayed Palace Museum, is the former residence of the UAE's Founding Father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. Built in 1937, the palace served as his family home and the administrative center of the Eastern Region before it was transformed into a museum in 2001. It offers visitors a rare glimpse into the everyday life, leadership, and hospitality of Sheikh Zayed and his family.

  3. Stop 3

    one hour

    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.

  4. Stop 4

    30 min Admission included

    Located on the outskirts of the city, the market has long been a gathering place where local farmers and traders buy and sell camels, sheep, goats, and other livestock. It offers visitors a unique opportunity to witness a centuries-old Emirati trading tradition that continues to thrive today.

  5. Jebel Hafeet

    30 min Admission included

    Jebel Hafeet is the highest peak in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and the second-highest mountain in the United Arab Emirates, rising approximately 1,249 metres (4,098 feet) above sea level. Located on the outskirts of Al Ain, this majestic limestone mountain offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city, the surrounding desert, and parts of neighbouring Oman. It is one of the UAE's most iconic natural landmarks and a must-visit destination for nature lovers, photographers, and road trip enthusiasts.

  6. Green Mubazzarah

    30 min Admission included

    Green Mubazzarah is a picturesque park and leisure destination located at the foot of Jebel Hafeet. Renowned for its lush green lawns, natural hot springs, and stunning mountain backdrop, it offers a refreshing escape from the desert landscape.

  7. Qasr al Muwaiji

    one hour

    Qasr Al Muwaiji is one of the UAE's most important historical landmarks and the birthplace of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the former President of the UAE. Built in the early 20th century by Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed the First, the fort served as a royal residence, administrative center, and defensive stronghold for the Al Nahyan family.
