Your Al Ain tour starts with a private minivan ride from Abu Dhabi to Al Ain, which takes roughly an hour. Your first stop is the impressive Al Ain Palace Museum. The museum, which is inside the residence of the former U.A.E. president, features an art gallery, meeting rooms, and historical replicas. From there, you'll proceed to the beautiful Al Ain Oasis, which is renowned for its underground irrigation system. You'll visit one more museum, Al Ain National Museum, before getting up close to Jebel Hafeet, the second-highest peak in the U.A.E.

The tour continues as you head over to the Camel Market for the chance to stop for an optional lunch. Your next stop on this Al Ain tour is Al Jahili Fort, the former headquarters of the Oman Trucial Scouts, who protected the mountain passes and kept inter-tribal peace. You'll then head to Hili Archaeological Garden, a public garden and archaeological site of a Bronze Age settlement. At the end of the tour, you will return to the Abu Dhabi port.
