Explore the magnificent Al Ain Oasis with over 3,000 acres of date palms and fruit trees in Al Ain - UAE’s first curated UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Just 90 minutes from Abu Dhabi city, the 4,000-year-old historical city of Al Ain is home to the largest oasis in the UAE – Al Ain Oasis. Al Ain Oasis is located in the centre of Al Ain and is the UAE’s first curated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit the Al Ain Oasis educational Eco-Centre, an interactive museum where exhibits will teach you more about this breathtaking historical heritage site.

With its still-operational traditional falaj (ancient irrigation system) and meandering pathways shaded beneath a thick canopy of over 147,000 date palms and other fruit trees, Al Ain Oasis is the perfect place to bring family or friends to see what agriculture in this region has looked like for millennia. Covering 1,200 hectares, this lush oasis provides a unique insight into the region's inhabitants who began taming the desert 4,000 years ago. Farmers tend to thousands of date palms of 100 different varieties, as well as fodder crops and fruit trees, such as mango, orange, banana, fig and jujube (known locally as sidr). Individual plots and working farms are separated from each other by historic boundary walls. The water supplying the lush Al Ain Oasis comes from both wells and the ancient falaj system that taps distant underground or mountain aquifers and then delivers the water, sometimes over many kilometres, to farms via a system of ground-level and below-ground aqueducts. Al Ain Oasis has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2011.
