"Al Ain Trip" Al `Ayn by chizz

Al `Ayn Travel Guide: 16 reviews and 91 photos

Al Ain

Stayed here for 6 weeks for my husband's job at the Intercontinental Hotel which gave us lots of time to see the sights and travel to Dubai a lot on weekends. Al Ain is quite a small, more conservative place than Dubai, but it is worth a trip as there are several things to do there.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Good weather, enough things to do, small place
Cons:Not enough variety

Last visit to Al `Ayn: Nov 2006

Interesting page. Now that Al Ain is on the UNESCO World Heritage list, I imagine people will be visitting it more. I'm moving to Abu Dhabi in a couple of weeks and your pages have been extremely useful.

Nice page. I considered working here, but opted for a job in Salalah instead. We don't have a Carrefour or an ice rink though!
