📍 Destination Overview
Al Ain lies in the eastern part of Abu Dhabi emirate, near the Oman border, the UAE's largest inland city. Thanks to abundant water and millennia of date cultivation, this 'Garden City' is the country's oldest settlement. Its Cultural Sites form the UAE's only UNESCO World Heritage; from Jebel Hafeet's 1,200-metre summit one overlooks the city and desert, spectacular at sunset.
