Top 6 Museums in Al Ain, Emirate of Abu Dhabi

January 23, 2022 Concepcion Newsome

Al Ain is the Garden city of this Arab nation, an oasis town located next to the Omani town of Buraimi. Al Ain is famous for its lively, bustling Camel Souk, attracting breeders and buyers from all over the UAE, including merchants and shepherds from the Al Rashaidah tribes. Other worthwhile sites are Jebel Hafeet, the second tallest mountain in the UAE; the Al Ain Museum and Fort, built to protect the oasis from the raiders when Sheikh Zayed ruled the Eastern Region; and the Al Ain Wildlife Park & Resort. The Al Ain Oasis is the biggest in the region with thousands of date plams.

Sheikh Zayed Palace Museum

Reviewed By confuzzled2 - Al Ain, United Arab Emirates

If you appreciate history and culture, plan in spending 1 to 1½ hours exploring this massive palace in its early years of hunting. It feels like going back into the innocent years when money had no meaning or purpose, when life was simple yet accommodated. My husband and I spent 1-1½ hours exploring each room, absorbing the lifestyle in a desert that became an Oasis because of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan. What you see today in the UAE, began with Sheikh Zayed , a very humble man, the one the Emirates greatly admired and finally call "The father of the UAE." Why? Because of his relationship with each tribe and the respect he earned from their tribal leaders, he united these tribes and with their support formed what is now The United Arab Emirates. He believed in the younger generation spending time with the older ones preserves the memories, he believed in Education for his people. I'm not an Emirate, I'm Polynesian, but I so admire the late Sheikh Zayed!

Recently opened the previous year it gives an interesting insight in His Highness Sheikh Khalifa’s birth place and early years as well as Al Ain history ... good interactive computer displays as well as the residence he grew up in ... great black and white video of Sheikh Zayed with his people at a camel race as well as amazing footage of him driving a large American “ Cadillac” in the dunes as if it was a 4WD !!!

Visited here many, many times...was my go to place on a Friday, after worship and lunch. Would get there and roam around in the adjoining oasis, then visit the museum. This was a place to bring people visiting me in Al Ain too. Interesting photographs of the royal family and shows the transformation of the UAE from small town oasis to the mega-metropolis it is now. Great place to visit! Beautiful gardens and spaces.
