Itinerary

Visit the beautiful garden city of Al Ain, the greenest of all the Emirates, on a full-day tour from Dubai. Begin with a visit to the Al Ain Museum with its extensive archaeological collection, including some spectacular second-millennium gold pendants. It also houses a reconstruction of the Grand Hili tomb with its rock engravings. Next, go to the top of Jebel Hafeet, UAE's highest peak, giving you stunning views of the desert. At the foot of Jebel Hafeet are hot water springs, ideal for bathing tired feet in steaming therapeutic waters. Then stop at the largest camel market in the UAE, recently renovated to entertain guests all the more. Depending on the time of year, you may see baby camels. Move on to Al Ain Conservation Zoo, which houses some the world's last remaining white lions and tigers. You will have the chance to get up close to the animals while strolling through the wonderful gardens and enclosures.

Wouldn't recommend this tour. Long drive there, you only see stones and hills. Too little time in the museum it was stressful. Lunch was good. Not no more.

We were lucky enough to be the only three travelers for this excursion in July. A visit to the mountain is worthwhile because of the view, the oasis with the springs is not absolutely necessary in sum (Read More)mer. The food at the Hilton was very good and certainly made up the largest part of the price of the trip. Fort with museum (interesting old photos from the beginnings before the founding of the UAE) and zoo are also very worth seeing. All in all, the trip was worth it, could be a little cheaper.

Trip supplied by Funtours looked forward to going to the National Museum. Driver on time, Did not go to the museum, trip just ok. Lunch ok if you like curry. Driver lacked consideration for his passen (Read More)gers stuck to the bumper in front used his mobile consistently, going up mountain fast with wheels squealing. Best part the zoo. Will hire a car next time. Full details will go on Tripadvisor.

The whole trip wasn't bad, but there is not enough time anywhere. The camel market at Kerichtgrube is not the real thing as it would have so many camel farms. The stop on the mountain had to be quick (Read More)and further down there would be the more interesting viewpoints. Lunch at the Hilten Hotel was very good, just quick and stressful. Then an hour in the zoo, you don't see half of it. The driver was great we had, friendly and good.

The visit was supposedly scheduled at 8:30 in the morning and then changed to 11:00-11:30 at 12:00 the Lord who was going to pick us up at the Hotel Sofitel in Palm has not yet appeared. We left the H (Read More)otel at 12:45, which meant that the Visit was made in a hurry and on top of that at the Museum, the most we had there was 10 minutes, which didn't give us time to explore the space further. We didn't get to see the spring of the thermal waters as it was written in the information sheet in relation to the activity, that is, it was not shown to us. It could have been better organized and there was time to better explore where we passed and visited.
