Day 01

An Exclusive Escorted Al Ain City tour from Port Zayed Abu Dhabi

Kick start your day tour of Al Ain from Abu Dhabi Port Zayed cruise terminal by 08.30 am after meeting your professional guide.
The first stop will be Qasar Al Ain, a Bedouin-style building constructed in 1937 that served as the late Sheikh Zayed and his family's residence and is now a museum that chronicles his daily activities.
The Jahili Fort, built to save the local palm trees, will be the next stop on this tour. One of the largest forts in the UAE and one of the main attractions in Al Ain since 2008. The impressive displays are the rare collections of photographs by British adventurer, desert explorer, and writer Wilfred Thesiger with a focus on his journeys into the Empty Quarter during the 1940s.
Move on to your next stop at Al Ain Oasis, The UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2011, spread across 3000 acres and provides a unique sight into the inhabitants of the region who began taming the deserts 4000 years ago.
The final stop on the Al Ain city tour includes lunch at Jebel Hafeet Mountain, the UAE's second-highest mountain and the emirate's highest peak. More than the destination, the drive to the hill is an experience you cannot miss, and this road is among the world's most incredible driving roads.
Our city tour of Al Ain will end at around 5:00 pm, and we'll return to Port Zayed Abu Dhabi.
