★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 136 reviews · from $270Our pick

Review the Al Ain day trip from Abu Dhabi, with museums, camel markets, Jebel Hafeet views, oasis walks, and buffet lunch.

“This is a great tour because it's outside of the cities of Abu Dhabi and Dubai....It seemed, in a sense, to be a more authentic experience because of the emphasis on the natural landscape - from the Oasis, to the dunes, to the climb up the mountain. You get a sense of how royalty lived pre-oil, or shortly after the discovery of oil with the visit to Sheikh Zayed's former home before he became president. And, if you have kids - they'll like it. I went alone with my kids who are 5 and 8.”

Review of the 8-hour Al Ain tour from Abu Dhabi, with mountain views, oasis walks, forts, camel stops, transport details, and practical booking advice.

“Sadiq was an excellent driver/guide. It is one and a half hours each way to Al Alain from Abu Dhabi so it was a long day. However, we saw some varied and interesting places which made it worthwhile. The view from the mountain top was great and the old architecture at the fort and palace were most interesting.”

“Very informative if you are interested in UAE history and traditions. Guide Naser was very good and very nice person. Unfortunately tour is not promoted so only 4 people participate. I would include few more attractions in the tour like camel market, souk, zoo, etc.”
