About this activity
Al Ain, the traditional seat of the Sheikhs, is perhaps the most folkloric of the main cities in the UAE, a corner of the world that encompasses old culture and tradition within the city's daily life till present day. It is in this beautiful oasis that you will be able to experience the desert life in all its glory. Embrace all the rich culture that this city has to offer by joining our Gray line excursion which will take you after 1h to 1h30 drive to the Al Ain National Museum as well as the Sheikh Zayed Palace Museum. Learn more about ancient Emirati customs and traditions as you later visit the camel race track and the livestock market. The wealth of culture to be found in this formerly vital desert trading center includes bazaars that date back to the 18th century, where you can watch the heated bargaining and debates at the camel market. Following this, we will head to Jebel Hafeet, a great mountain overlooking the incredible beauty of Al Ain city. We will explore the Hot Springssituated at the foot of the mountain, which are abundantly found throughout the region, and from which the water is said to have a mysterious, magical healing power. To end the tour, we will have lunch in the city where you will be able to sample local dishes from the region before heading back to Dubai.
That great journey lasts minimum 1 day. That admirable product offers a juicy lunch. It is considered as a full day tourist experience. Also, you will immediately get an instant confirmation.

Rewiew auf Deutsch / ENGLISH SEE BELOW Die Route: Man muss den langen Weg von Dubai in Kauf nehmen. In Al Ain sahen wir einen Dattelwald mit Bewässerungskanälen in der Stadt, es war sehr heiss, wir gingen kaum zu Fuss. Lunch war ok in einem modernen Hotel nähe des Kamelmarktes. Wir besuchten diesen nach dem Lunch, da war nichts los, der Markt hat seine Aktivität offenbar am Vormittag. Immerhin sahen wir viele Tiere in den Gehegen. Dann auf den höchsten Berg, einige schöne Ausblicke, aber nicht wirklich fasznierend. Ebenso wenig der Erholungspark mit dem Süsswasserbach. Der Tourguide: Pünktliche Abholung im Hotel. Ein Inder, der nur gebrochen Englisch sprach, war zwar liebenswürdig und beflissen, konnte aber kaum etwas interessantes vermitteln. Am Kamelmarkt dauert es ewig, bis wir diesen besichtigen konnten, es war völlig unklar, weshalb dies so lange dauerte. Der Wagen war ok, ausser dass die Klima nicht recht funktionierte bei aussen 45C! Fazit: Mir schien die Führung ziemlich unprofessionell. Dazu kommt, dass Viator mir angezeigt hatte, die Führung finde nur ab zwei Personen statt ich hatte bloss zwei Tage vorher gebucht, und extra zwei Tickets gekauft 2 mal 140 ich war allein, wir waren dann aber zu fünft, irgendwie ist das Reservationssystem von Viator untauglich, auch die Suchmöglichkeiten auf der Website unpraktisch. Ich hatte schon in einigen Ländern über Viator gebucht, und bisher keinen besseren Service gefunden. Offenbar ist das ein schwieriges Business. The route: You have to take the long way from Dubai. In Al Ain we saw a date forest with irrigation canals in the city, it was very hot, we hardly walked. Lunch was ok in a modern hotel near the camel market. We visited it after lunch, there was nothing going on, the market apparently has its activity in the morning. After all, we saw many animals in the enclosures. Then to the highest mountain, some beautiful views, but not really fascinating. Neither is the recreation park with the freshwater stream. The tour guide: punctual pick-up at the hotel. Our Indian tour guide, who spoke only broken English, was kind and assiduous, but could hardly convey anything interesting. At the camel market it took us forever to visit it, it was completely unclear why it took so long. The car was ok, except that the climate didn't work properly at 45C outside! Conclusion: The leadership seemed to me rather unprofessional. In addition, Viator had indicated to me that the tour would only take place if there were a minimum of two passengers. I had only booked two days in advance, and bought two extra tickets - I was alone, but there were five of us in the group. I wish the reservation system advised me how many people were going to be present so I would not have had to purchase extra tickets. Also the search possibilities on the website are impractical. I had already booked in some countries via Viator and had not found a better service yet. Apparently this is a difficult business.
