Ain Featured Hotels
Al Ain is often described
as the 'garden city' of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Located approximately
60 miles inland on the edge of the Oman border in Abu Dhabi, its name translates
as 'The Spring' and, originally used as a favoured watering hole of the
nomadic Bedouin has been continuously inhabited for over four millennia.
| Now, it is a modern conurbation
boasting a thriving population of just over 600,000; and because of its
natural beauty and numerous attractions, it has been labelled as the 'playground
of the UAE'. Indeed, the development of an extensive new resort at Al Ain
Al Fayda, which includes top-class hotels and a family Waterpark, is attracting
a lot of interest from Emirati nationals as well as overseas tourists;
helping to boost the status of the city as a holiday destination.
One of the natural climatic
features of Al Ain that helps make it so popular is the humidity factor.
Even in the heat of summer - during which temperatures average a scorching
36 degrees Celsius - relative humidity is still an extremely comfortable
60 per cent.
Benefiting from low winter
rainfall and temperatures averaging around mid to high 20 degrees, Al Ain
is a popular all-year round destination. Due to its dry heat, many visitors
to Al Ain are those who normally reside on the sweltering Persian Gulf
coast and choose to holiday in the city to take a break from the coastal
humidity. |

Man-made attractions in
the city include a wealth of historical buildings and archaeological sites.
The Al Ain Museum situated in Sultan bin Zayed Street is filled with exhibits
ranging from the second millennium to recent history, and also includes
a complete reconstruction of the ancient Grand Hili tomb. Inside the museum
grounds is the Eastern Fort; ancestral home of the Al Ain ruling family
which opens to the public during museum opening hours.
Those arriving on flights
to Al Ain International Airport get a superb view of the heights of
Jebel Hafeet, part of the Hajjar mountain plateau that largely makes up
the Emirate of Oman; an area of outstanding natural beauty. It is from
that prominent point overlooking the city that visitors can appreciate
the size of this delectable oasis and to which an excursion is an absolute
must for any tourist.
Whether the purpose of your
trip is for its history, climate or on business; there really is much for
the visitor to explore in Al Ain.
