About me as a guide: The UAE holds a special spot in my heart. Being a licensed tour guide in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Louvre Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, I have the privilege to show people the rich mix of history, archaeology, and culture here. This country is a mix of deep rooted heritage and modern wonders, and it never ceases to amaze me. Traveling for me is more than hitting up new locations; it’s about immersing in different cultures, uncovering history, and getting amazed by new discoveries and nature’s wonders.

At Qattara Arts Centre combines art and archeological heritage of UAE. The construction of Al Qattara Arts Centre revealed archaeological findings uncovering a five-meter sequence of archaeological layers spanning from the Late Islamic period to the Iron Age. The earliest phase of this sequence, showcasing Iron Age industrial installations, is now exhibited at the Al Qattara Archaeological Basement. This new permanent exhibition interprets the archaeology of the Al Ain oases through archaeological finds from the site and various media. At Qattara Arts Centre, you can discover a range of art forms through exhibitions featuring local and international artists. Engage with the vibrant art scene, and explore the rich cultural heritage of the region.

Al Jahili Fort, one of the largest forts in the United Arab Emirates, was built in the late 19th century by Sheikh Zayed bin Khalifa (Zayed the great). At Jahili Fort you’ll step back in time to explore a beautifully preserved example of traditional Arabian architecture. This fort features imposing mud-brick walls and iconic watchtowers, offering a glimpse into the region’s rich history. Inside the fort, you can visit a museum dedicated to the life and achievements of the renowned British explorer Sir Wilfred Thesiger, known for his travels in the Arabian Peninsula. Throughout the year, the fort also hosts various cultural events and exhibitions, providing visitors with a deeper insight into the heritage and culture of the region.

Al Ain Oasis, the largest oasis in Al Ain, is one of six oases in Al Ain City designated as Cluster sites of the Cultural Sites of Al Ain, which have been granted UNESCO World Heritage Status. At Al Ain Oasis, you can experience the serenity of lush date palm groves and traditional falaj irrigation systems, which have sustained life in the desert for 3 000 years. Wander through the shaded pathways, learn about the oasis’s history and significance, and discover the traditional mud-brick buildings that dot the landscape.

At Green Mubazzarah, you can enjoy a scenic view at the foothills of Jebel Hafeet in Al Ain. This area is known for its lush greenery, hot springs, and recreational facilities. The hot spring source lies 2 km underground and is the result of thousands of years of tectonic plate movements. This recreational area was one of the last projects of the Sheikh Zayed, UAE first president and founding father.

Jebel Hafeet is a prominent mountain in the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula, straddling the border between the United Arab Emirates and Oman. Rising to 1,240 meters (4,100 feet), it offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding desert and cityscapes. The mountain is renowned for its striking, rugged terrain and the scenic drive up its winding road, which is popular with tourists and locals alike. At the summit, you can enjoy breathtaking vistas of the Al Ain oasis and the surrounding landscape, making it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts.
