Al Ain is an oasis city in the desert about 90 minutes' drive south east from Dubai
and east from Abu Dhabi. After Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah, it is the fourth largest
city in the UAE. Due to the oasis, the city is relatively green, and is known as the
"Garden City". Parts of the city and surrounding region are designated as a UNESCO
World Heritage site, due to the archaeological sites at Hafit, Hili, and Bidaa Bint Saud, and the oasis areas in Al Ain itself.
We will put additional information here about accommodation as it becomes available.
