The ecologically important Jebel Hafeet is considered one of the monuments of Al Ain, lying just to the south of the city, and rising to 1,100–1,400 meters in elevation.

With its name “Al Ain” meaning “The Spring” in Arabic, referring to natural water sources and springs that fed its oases, the city is known as the Garden City for its palm groves and natural springs. Bronze Age remains include tombs on the towering Jebel Hafeet, to the south, and in Al Hili Archaeological Park, to the north. The central Al Ain National Museum displays artifacts from these sites.
