A full day in the green oasis city on the Omani border: UNESCO falaj irrigation, the Jebel Hafit mountain road and historic forts.
Dubai works best as a combo: a city tour + a sunset yacht + one big attraction on a free day.

Al Ain, the birthplace of Sheikh Zayed, is the greenest city in the emirate and a window into the old Emirates. You will wander the shaded palm groves of the oasis with its ancient UNESCO-listed falaj channels, climb the famous winding road up Jebel Hafit, and explore the mud-brick Al Jahili Fort. With a relaxed pace, a private guide and a comfortable transfer, this trip is the perfect contrast to the capital's skyline.
Meet your guide at your hotel and drive to Al Ain across the desert highway, about ninety minutes with short stops.
A gentle walk through the palm plantations and an introduction to the thousand-year-old falaj irrigation system, a World Heritage Site.

«Tandem skydive over the Palm — unreal. Check-in took a while but once we boarded the plane I forgot about everything. Video came out brilliant. Pricier than the desert drop zone but the views earn it.»
