Through the Gates of Time: Discovering the History and Beauty of Al Jahili Fort in Al Ain

My husband and I like to get away from the grind and hunt down something new. Somewhere we’ve never been, even if it’s just a few hours drive away. That’s when we thought of Al Ain, a place rich in heritage, nature and quiet charm. We had heard so much about Al Ain’s green landscapes. So, off we go. Hit the road, curious, excited and ready for a new place to explore. The drive itself was a joy, calm desert views gave way to surprising patches of greenery as we approached Al Ain. With its rows of date palms, roundabouts decorated with flowers, and wide roads framed by mountains in the distance.
