Great day trip to the oasis city - Great day trip to Al Ain the oasis inland city with old castles and museum as well as a palm grove. Very different and well worth the day trip. I ended up being the only one on this trip but would recommend this as part of any itinerary in the UAE whether Dubai or Abu Dhabi

Great way to see the UAE beyond Dubai & Abu Dhabi - I had an excellent day out visiting the city of Al Ain and the mountain of Jabal Hafeet. This tour was a great way to get beyond the bubble of Dubai and explore more of the UAE countryside. Al Ain was a very interesting city. I enjoyed the Fort, Palace Museum. The Oasis complex is huge and well worth wandering around. My highlight was the drive up Jabal Hafeet and the views from the top. Spectacular landscape and journey.

Al Ain - Fantastic full-day experience with Bilal from the Navita tours operator. Bilal is a very kind and exquisite person. He showed us around Al Ain in all its beauty. We went to the national museum, the oasis, the camel market, the zoo and finally to Jebel Hafeet mountain at sunset with a breathtaking view. Bilal was always helpful and sociable with us. My wife and I had a fantastic day. Thank you very much Bilal for being with us. 5 stars plus L

Enjoyable and interesting day trip - We had a great day trip to Al Ain with our guide Durgesh. We were the only people on the tour so had the comfort of a SUV and guide all to ourselves. First stop was to taste camels milk and then onto the camel race track. These were just quick stops but the 3rd stop at the date farm was very interesting. We tried a few varieties of dates thanks to Durgesh. The visit to the National Museum and Shiek Zahedan Palace were both very interesting and worthwhile. Durgesh took us to the mall where we had lunch and some free time before heading up the Jabel Hafeet mountain - something not to be missed. All up a very interesting day and well looked after by Durgesh.

A great and peaceful day in Al Ain! - A great day in Al Ain with Bilal, who shared a lot of information and showed me around the city very nicely. I also had the time I wanted at every stop and was not rushed at any time. Al Ain is very peaceful and serene, and it is a very pleasant halt away from Dubai and Abu Dhabi. I highly recommend it!

Camels and Mountaintops - We had a wonderful day exploring Al Ain! Our guide, Pradeep, was very informative and helpful. Don’t miss the Camel Racetrack and Camel Markets! We also thoroughly enjoyed the Sheik’s birthplace and adjoining date oasis! Pradeep even took us to the top of Jabel Hafeet which had a beautiful view and was so incredibly different than Dubai or Abu Dhabi! I highly recommend this side trip!

Dubai has a wonderful - I learned the history of Dubai and a very interesting. Dubai city has tall buildings just like New York. But there are not many people walking but they ride a cars to the work. I went to the markets I saw only men. It is a very interesting Dubai’s populations Indians and Pakistanis make up 70%, only 10% are local Dubai’s people the rest are Iranians.
