Al Ain Attractions

Al Ain is the largest city in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Known as "The Garden City of the Gulf". Al Ain is surrounded by red sand dunes and overlooked by an impressive mountain range.

The city of Al Ain offers old traditions such as the last remaining camel market while allowing visitors to experience present day Arabia. Families can enjoy a visit to the Al Ain Zoo, home to one of the largest animal collections in the world or an Olympic sized ice rink. Hili Fun City and Garden is the largest theme park in the Gulf Region and a popular family attraction.

Archeological discoveries indicate the first settlement of Al Ain dates back to 3,000 BC. Hili Archeological Park features restored tombs.

For travelers looking for adventure, a driving tour of Hafeet Mountain road or four-wheel drive through the desert is a must. Dune buggy rides, caving or hang gliding are also available for the really adventurous.
