Al Ain trip planner

If you need a break from the U.A.E's two mega-cities, take a trip to Al Ain, a refreshing oasis of green amid the harsh desert. In fact, the city is literally constructed on oases--seven of them--designed using the ancient "falaj" irrigation method that makes use of water from boreholes. Constantly inhabited for more than 4,000 years, the city brims with a rich history and striking Middle Eastern architecture. Many visitors also come to escape the oppressive humidity of the coastal cities. Located inland on the border with Oman and less that two hours' drive from both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, Al Ain serves as an easily accessible window into authentic Arabic culture. Al Ain is in Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Arrange all the small, but important details of your Al Ain trip itinerary using our United Arab Emirates trip itinerary planning website .
