Know More about this tour


Al Jahili Fort has been a cultural the focal point of activities associated with philosophy and heritage of Abu Dhabi in the Garden City. Al Jahili is one of the largest forts in the UAE and was built in the 1890s on orders from Zayed The First as the home to members of the Al Nahyan ruling family.
Qasr al-Ain or "Al Ain Palace", is one of the best-reinstated forts in the Abu Dhabi emirate. The museum showcases the everyday life in a ruler's fort when the late Sheikh Zayed and his family resided in the palace prior to 1966. The Bedouin style architecture dates back to 1937 and was converted into a museum in 1998 as a main cultural and tourist attraction.
The historic oasis sprawls across 3,000-acre and provides a unique insight into the region's inhabitants who began taming the desert 4,000 years ago. The Al Ain Oasis has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2011, but only now, with the construction of an educational Eco-Centre and an extensive system of shaded pathways that wind through some 147,000 dates. The site houses up to 100 different varieties of vegetation that surround the impressive oasis, with widespread plantations that are also working farms. (Currently, the museum is closed for renovations).
Al Ain's famous camel market is a wonderful immersion in traditional Arab culture. From young Arabian camels that might grow up to be racers to impressive adult camels ideal for breeding, the market is a one-of-a-kind experience to get a closer look at the animal that enjoys a special place in the Emirati heritage.Lunch will be provided here in an Restaurant.
Photo stop:Rising 1,240 metres, Jebel Hafit is the emirates highest peak, and UAEs second. This towering rocky height, which stands guard over Al Ain and borders Oman, is forged out of craggy limestone that has been weathered over millions of years. Significant fossil discoveries have been made in the area, which are vital pieces in the jigsaw of the citys ancient history.
This green expanse at the foot of Jebel Hafeet is another spectacle that showcases the rich natural reserves of Al Ain. A popular hotspot for picnics and family outings, the Green Mubazzarah is packed with families out to enjoy the sun, adventurers trekking up the mountain and campers who can spend the night in tents at the base.

    This was a good tour & the driver was professional. The mini van had a recorded audio tour which played as we drove. This was helpful and interesting. The fort at Al Ain was my highlight, the other stops were interesting.

    Good way to see a little bit about a number of places. Time spent in each is less than 30 minutes, with approx 2-hr drive there and +2-hr back. The locations are such that sufficient is seen within those 30 minutes anyway, just don't dawdle. The Guide is a recording that you listen to on the way from one location to the next. It's fine, although if you're like me, you're distracted by the sights while in the van/bus and only half-listening and the ability to ask questions is limited. The driver and associate who accompany on the travel are helpful, but not traditional "Tour Guides". That's not a complaint, just setting expectations.

    Direkte Buchung bei Grayline und der E-Mail-Kontakt haben super funktioniert. Wir wurden pünktlich zur vereinbarten Zeit in unserem Hotel abgeholt. Ein schöner Tagesausflug mit vielen Impressionen. Top Fahrzeug mit Audioguide (in Deutsch) und sehr gut funktionierendes WiFi während der Fahrt. Ein sehr guter Fahrer der sehr umsichtig uns zu den Besichtigungspunkten fuhr. Das Mittagessen im Hotel Ayla Bawadi (Buffet) war ausgezeichnet. Sehr gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis! Die Tour können wir empfehlen.

    This could have been a spectacular tour as the sites to visit on the tour are. However Dennis the man who supposedly labels himself a tour guide was useless. Firstly they were an hour late to collect myself & others on the tour with no apology extended. Dennis just took us to the locations & explained nothing. During the long periods in the bus when he could have been explaining the different areas & history he was more preoccupied with his phone. At Jebel Hafeet they didn't even bother to take us to the top & at Green Mubazzarah they drove in & out again without advising everyone they wouldn't stop. I would certainly recommend that people visit Al Ain but with a different tour company.

    I had a very good time. Driver was knowledgeable and patient with me. Food: one of the best I had opportunity to taste during my visit to UAE.

    Contact très cordial et efficace avec la plateforme pour l'organisation la veille . Bonne information. Nous avons eu plusieurs fois le même guide très sympathique (langue anglaise, le seul français est dans l'audioguide). Nous avons eu la chance (pas pour Grayline) d'être 2 fois tous seuls, ce qui donne beaucoup de flexibilité au planning . Prise en charge et retour à l'hôtel sans problème . La journée Al Ain était très bien programmée et intéressante.

    E-Mail-Kontakt hat gut funktioniert. Wir wurden pünktlich im Hotel abgeholt. Unser Fahrer Mohsin und unser Tourguide Ron waren überaus nett und haben uns alles ausführlich erklärt und gezeigt. Mittagessen in einem Hotel (Buffet) war ausgezeichnet. Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis stimmt!
