Public Garden: Al Ain has 10 public gardens in all, four of which are reserved for women and children only. Picnic areas and play areas for children are features of most of the parks, as are pleasant paths, making the city parks popular choices for families in the evenings and at the weekends. Al-Ain Zoo and Aquarium: feature rare and endangered species and a wide array of marine life. The complex was opened in 1969, and is open every day. It features species from the Gulf region, Africa and also other parts of the world; its largest space is reserved for Arabian deer and antelope. Al Ain Museum and Fort: the museum’s ethnography and archaeology sections feature displays that give visitors a look at the past in terms of the lives and occupations of local tribes. The fort has been restored to its original condition and both attractions are open six days per week. Step back in time at Hili: not only are the gardens beautiful here, but this suburb of Al Ain is known for archaeological excavations dating as far back as 3,000 BC. It’s the site of some of the most well-known tombs in the Middle East. |
