Tour Plan

Al Hili Gardens was established around an excavation site where a tomb was discovered. A public park was created to highlight Hili as a tourist destination and preserve the historical relics found. The gardens feature numerous fountains set against the backdrop of the tombs and are home to a wide variety of flowering plants. Ideal for those with an interest in archaeology and a love for nature, the gardens are open to visitors from 4:30 PM to 9:30 PM and are closed on public holidays.
After exploring the gardens, we will visit Al Ain Museum, which showcases artifacts and relics that reflect Arabian life, culture, and heritage. Housed in the former palace of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, built in 1937, the museum’s design is similar to other historical structures in the UAE. This National Museum offers valuable insights into the local traditions and culture that highlight the region’s unique beauty.
After the museum visit, you'll proceed to Mount Jebel Hafeet, the second highest peak in the UAE. This location is a must-see for nature enthusiasts, offering stunning views and a contrast to historical artifacts. Part of the Hajjar Mountain range, Jebel Hafeet is a rocky terrain ideal for trekking, hiking, and camping.
Known as the "ships of the desert," camels are remarkable for their ability to endure the harsh desert heat for days and make excellent companions for travelers and hikers. At the camel market, you'll encounter numerous vendors selling these magnificent animals. Feel free to ask your guide or the traders about the camel trade. To learn more about these fascinating creatures, consider signing up for a Desert Safari in Dubai.
A popular spot for families, the Conservation Zoo is home to over 4,000 animals. Visitors can observe these animals up close while enjoying a relaxing walk with loved ones.
The final stop on your Al Ain tour is Al Jahili Fort, the most historic structure in Al Ain. Dating back centuries, this picturesque fort was originally built to protect the city from invaders and was quite effective in its role. Set amidst beautifully landscaped gardens, the fort invites exploration. After visiting Al Jahili Fort, we'll drive you back to your hotel in Dubai, concluding your Al Ain tour.
