About Al Ain
Formerly a sprawling oasis ancient traders encountered en route to Oman from UAE, Al Ain is now known as the Garden City thanks to around 10,000 hectares of green area for its beautiful parks and gardens.
Al Ain directly translates to ‘The Spring’ and is the emirate’s heritage heartland and one of the world’s oldest settlements that have been inhabited for centuries. You can explore these settlements and other attractions such as an art centre, the Al Ain National Museum as well as prehistoric tombs.
Al Ain is the birthplace of the well-loved ruler Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
