Cultural Sites of Al Ain
"The Cultural Sites of Al Ain (Hafit, Hili, Bidaa Bint Saud and Oases Areas) constitute a serial property that testifies to sedentary human occupation of a desert region since the Neolithic period with vestiges of many prehistoric cultures. Remarkable vestiges in the property include circular stone tombs (ca 2500 B.C.), wells and a wide range of adobe constructions: residential buildings, towers, palaces and administrative buildings."

During a photo stop here, your guide will share some fascinating facts about the architecture of this stunning mega-structure.
Your tour continues through the fascinating and ever-changing desert scenery before you reach the Hajar Mountains. Visit the Al Ain Museum and the renovated old palace of Sheikh Zayed -- late ruler of Abu Dhabi and president of the Uae. Stroll around the nearby Al Ain Oasis and see the ancient falaj (irrigation system) developed by the Persians more than 3,000 years ago.
