We did a day tour of the Al Ain City with our tour guide Rahi. We found the some of the historical attractions like the Al Jahili Fort and Qasr Al Muwaiji very interesting. If you are hard pressed on time, I would skip the falaj water channels (did not have anything much to see), the camel market (which is essentially a whole sale market for camels) and the panoramic views from the top of Jebel Hafeet Mountain (the view of the city was good from the top but it took a long time to get there). Our tour guide Rahil was helpful and courteous.
We really enjoy

The guide was a nice gentleman but very quiet and soft spoken. The experience was ok. The memorable part was the mountain.
Al Ain well worth the visit if you are interested in the culture and historical origins of the UAE and see the oasis

Our tour to Al Ain was excellent and our guide Noufal was extremely knowledgeable. If you want to learn about the historical origins of the UAE, this is an excellent tour. The stop at the oasis was excellent and we were surprised at the lushness and density of the date palms and other trees. It’s fascinating to see this lush area in the desert and learn how they used the springs to water this very large area.
If you're bored with skyscrapers, you're definitely here:)

It was a wonderful tour with our guide Noufal. We were picked up outside the hotel at the agreed time and returned as well. The car was comfortable with good air conditioning. Noufal is an excellent driver, driving the car very softly and confidently. Did not overload with information, but told interesting points about the sights and the local population. He was very attentive to each of the tourists (there were three of us), helped with the photos. The allotted time for each attraction was enough with a reserve, there was no rush anywhere, everything was comfortable, lunch was delicious. A golf car was provided at the oasis, making it much easier to see the oasis. As for the sights: Mount Jebel Hafit and the road to it are delightful, the oasis is beautiful, the escaped camel in the camel market - the unique local flavor, the fort and the palace - an excellent alternative to the seated Abu Dhabi skyscrapers. Special thanks to Noufal for the opportunity to see the desert up close.
One of the best days of our vacation

An unforgettable trip with our guide Noufal. Everything was perfect from start to finish. We were picked up outside the hotels at a clearly marked time without delay and also taken back. Comfortable car, Noufal - excellent driver, drove the car very smoothly and confidently. He did not overload with information, but told interesting moments about the sights and life of the local population. Very caring to all the travelers (there were three of us) and drove to see all the places we missed while walking. In the oasis we had a golf car tour, which even for the weather of February was very handy, the whole trip was comfortable. The allotted time was enough for all the sights, there was no sense of haste anywhere. Lunch was delicious. As for the sights directly: Jebel Hafit mountain and the road to it are magical, the oasis is beautiful, the escaped camel in the camel market - the best local flavor, fort and palace - have perfectly diluted the sitting skyscrapers. Special thanks to Noufal for the opportunity to see the desert up close:)

This was a great all day tour to Al Ain to see the historical royal family buildings from the past, the beautiful oasis, and fabulous view from the nearby mountaintop. As well, the buffet lunch was excellent.
An excellent complement to a stay in Abu Dhabi

We chose this formula a little random but we were not disappointed, The guide driver picked us up at our hotel at 8:30am to take us back around 5pm. Car for two very comfortable, The journey to Al Ain takes 2 hours. We made a stop en route to the camel track. This Saturday there were races. Really spectacular. Al Ain’s visit is well underway. This quiet city in the middle of the desert contrasts sharply with the hectic life of Abu Dhabi. The meal in a very classic buffet of the emirates is very correct.
