THE EXPERIENCE

Discover Al Ain Oasis

The oasis makes an agricultural system visible through its combination of palms, pathways and falaj irrigation. Water is carried through interconnected channels to sustain planting, although the amount visible changes with the season. The Eco-Centre adds interpretation that connects the working landscape with Al Ain's long history.

Walking slowly is a useful way to understand the scale of the place and the details beside the paths. Visitors who prefer less walking can check bicycle or electric buggy options. Leave enough time to read the interpretation rather than using the oasis only as shade between other stops.
