5The trip was top notch! Our guide Majeed was so thoughtful and knowledgable. He share with us not only about the sites we were seeing, but also about culture and tradition. He asked us about our interests, answered our many questions and went above and beyond to ensure we had the experience we were looking for. He was also kind, respectful and lovely when speaking to all the people we encountered along the way. It was an amazing experience.

5A truly authentic Emirati experience. The Sheikh Zayed Palace photo stop felt like stepping into history, and the Al Ain Oasis was calm and lush. The camel market was chaotic in the best way, and Jebel Hafeet’s vista was breathtaking. We had ample time at the hot springs, which was a relaxing way to end the trip.

5Très belle journée à Al Ain ! Le Fort d’Al Jahili est impressionnant et l’excursion au marché aux chameaux très pittoresque. Le déjeuner dans un cadre traditionnel était délicieux, et les sources chaudes ont été une belle surprise. Un guide attentionné et une organisation impeccable. Je recommande fortement.

5What a wonderful escape from Dubai’s skyscrapers! Visiting Al Jahili Fort first gave a real feel of the emirate’s heritage. The oasis walk was peaceful, and lunch at Al Bawadi introduced us to authentic Emirati flavors. Camel Market was lively, and the view from Jebel Hafeet at sunset was absolutely unforgettable. Soak in the hot springs topped off the day perfectly. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly throughout.

5Excellent off-the-beaten-path experience. The historic sites were fascinating, and the Al Ain Oasis was peaceful and restorative. Traditional lunch was flavorful, and the camel market provided great photo opportunities. Jebel Hafeet’s vistas were dramatic, and the hot springs were a delightful surprise.

4An interesting tour overall, but the summer heat made some stops less enjoyable. Camel market was fun, though timing felt a bit rushed. The hot springs were welcome, but I’d choose a cooler month next time.
Marta González
4A nice mix of cultural and natural sites. Al Jahili Fort was great, and the oasis was lush. However, the summer sun was intense, and some stops were too short. Would do again in winter

5Absolutely loved this day trip – history, nature, and relaxation all in one. The guide’s commentary was insightful. Palm-shaded oasis, camel market buzz, and mountain panoramas really showed another side of the UAE. Hot springs made it even better!
