Al Ain Oasis

Inside Al Ain Oasis at mid-morning: a paved shaded walking path runs between dense rows of mature date palms with tall slender trunks, mud-brick walls bordering individual palm farms on both sides, and a small open falaj irrigation channel running alongside with water flowing visibly
Al Ain Oasis is the largest of seven oases in the inland city of Al Ain and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2011. Some 147,000 date palms across 1,200 hectares are still irrigated by an ancient falaj system that has been in continuous use for thousands of years. Entry is free and the shaded walking loops make it a year-round day-trip from Abu Dhabi or Dubai.
