Al Ain is just an hour’s drive from\u00a0Dubai and hosts a huge range of amazing natural scenes as well as some of the lushest greenery in the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The natural oasis is home to some of the UAE’s richest heritage and culture – it was originally home to bedouin tribes during summer as humidity was lower.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Aloft Al Ain has also just opened, offering the funkiest (and affordable!) accommodation in town – making it the PERFECT\u00a0time to hit up the Spring City.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s what you want to hit up while you’re exploring Al Ain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

1 Jabal Hafeet\u00a0<\/h3>\n

We couldn’t really start a list without including Abu Dhabi’s highest peak, AND\u00a0one of the most exhilarating roads in the UAE. Wind up the mountainside, taking in the stunning views – and once you top it, just chill, and have a picnic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
