Al Ain Oasis

A natural and historical treasure in the heart of Al Ain

A green gem in the heart of the desert

Al Ain Oasis, the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in the UAE, is known as a thriving green oasis in the heart of the city of Al Ain. The oasis covers a wide area and includes more than 147,000 palm trees of different types. It is a peaceful haven that offers its visitors the opportunity to relax and learn about the rich history of the area.

Irrigation in the oasis depends on the traditional “Aflaj” system, which dates back thousands of years and is a testament to the wisdom of our ancestors in managing water resources. Wandering through its shady lanes is a unique experience that takes you on a journey through time, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
