Why a Al Ain Staycation

Oasis city, Jebel Hafeet horizons — without the long-haul flight.

02 — Heritage

Jebel Hafeet at 1,249m

03 — Heritage

Al Ain Zoo & Safari

Cooler summer escape

Higher elevation and oasis shade make Al Ain meaningfully cooler than the coast — a hidden summer staycation.

Al Ain FAQ

Common questions about Al Ain.

How long is the drive to Al Ain from Dubai?
Approximately 2 hours via the E66. A great drive — flat at first, then dunes from Al Ain road onwards.
Is Jebel Hafeet open to drive?
Yes, year-round. The 11.7km road has three viewing layby points and ends at the Mercure Grand car park. Best at sunrise or sunset.
Is Al Ain good for a summer staycation?
Notably milder than the coast — a few degrees cooler and far less humid. Telal Resort and Mercure Jebel Hafeet are top summer picks.
Are the resorts dry?
Al Ain has fewer licensed venues than the coastal emirates. Hilton Al Ain has the Horse & Jockey Pub; most resorts serve alcohol in their restaurants.
