Description
An Al Ain City Tour, focusing on its natural and historical aspects, offers a captivating journey through one of the United Arab Emirates' most unique and culturally rich cities. Here's a brief description of what you can expect from such a tour.
The Al Ain City Tour is a captivating exploration of this city's rich history and vibrant culture. The tour covers a range of significant attractions, starting with Al-Jahili Fort, a historic structure that was established in 1891 to protect palm farmers in the Al-Jahili Oasis. Later, it played a crucial role in safeguarding mountain routes and maintaining peace among different tribes.
Another highlight is the Al Ain Palace, a beautifully preserved museum in Abu Dhabi. This historical site was once the residence of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the Founding Father of the UAE and its first President. His presence here until the late 1960s holds great historical importance.
The tour also includes a visit to the serene Al Ain Oasis, a 1,200-hectare green paradise known as the 'Green City' of Al Ain. It's a tranquil retreat where you can connect with nature and witness traditional irrigation practices.
Lunch is provided at the Ayla Bawadi Restaurant in Al Ain, where you can indulge in authentic Emirati cuisine.
Jabal Hafeet, a towering mountain on the UAE-Oman border, is another remarkable stop on the tour. Rising to an impressive height of 1,249 meters, it stands as the highest point in Abu Dhabi and the second tallest in the UAE. The panoramic views from its summit are simply breathtaking.
Green Mubazzarah, at the foot of Jebel Hafit, is a lush oasis that exemplifies the natural beauty of Al Ain. It's a popular spot for picnics, family outings, and adventurous treks up the mountain. Some visitors even opt to camp here, immersing themselves in the tranquil environment.
The tour concludes at the strategically located Green Mubazzarah Chalets, nestled at the base of the mountains. These chalets offer deluxe accommodations, providing a peaceful escape from the city's hustle and offering easy access to the beautiful outdoors.
