Al Ain is the garden city of this Arab nation, an oasis town home to thousands of date palms. With archeological ruins and digs dating as far back as 5,000 years, the ‘Al Ain City Tour’ is one of history and tradition. No journey to the Middle East would be complete without the chance to see camels up close and personal, and this city tour allows you to do just that.

Highlights:

· A visit to Hili Gardens, which combines both a public garden and an archeological site with remnants of Bronze Age settlements

· A tour inside the Al Ain Palace Museum which was once the residence of the late ruler Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan and is now home to interesting displays which offer an insight into their family and lifestyle

· A visit to the Al Ain National Museum which provides an overview of the country’s traditions and culture

· Get up close and personal with camels at the camel race. Camel racing has taken place in the UAE for centuries, and the large 10 km track at Al Ain is an experience not to be missed.

· A short stop at Jahili Fort to view the photography collection of the famous explorer Wilfred Thesiger
