Hilton Al Ain has a fabulous location and great pools for the kids to play in. Many of the local expat community use the pool as well so it can get a bit crowded. Lots of choices for restaurants here too. One child under 6 can stay free in the room and there is a 50 Aed charge for older children to have an extra bed. This is the best Al Ain hotel in my opinion _ I have stayed in the hotel several times and really enjoyed it!Check Rates & Reviews

City Seasons Hotel is a lovely basic Al Ain hotel. This hotel is dry so for mum’s and dad’s hoping for a glass of wine this is not the place to stay! There is a small pool on the top floor. Walking distance to a strip mall and basic food outlets etc. It is easy to catch a taxi here to pretty much anywhere in Al Ain. Children under 12 stay free and an extra bed can be ordered for those over 12 for a very reasonable charge. Check Rates & Reviews

Things to Do

Al Ain Zoo is a great place to spend the day. It is so reasonably priced that we used to go almost every week, sometimes just to use the fabulous picnic areas and playgrounds. The zoo is consistently going through upgrades. There is food available on site as well as a train to ride if you get tired. Hours vary according to the season. There are lots of shows to see as well! Shopping Malls are plentiful so you will have no problem if you feel like a bit of shopping! Bawadi Mall is the newest mall in the area and is a spectacular one. There is a huge kid's games room inside as well as a movie theater. Al Jimi mall is a smaller mall but has again has a kid's play area. Al Ain Mall has quite a few kid's stations for younger and older children as well as an ice rink and movie theater.

Camel Racing is held early morning, usually 6am onwards on a Friday. It is amazing to watch and a real cultural treat to see the camels all dressed up in the dessert. Dress modestly for this as you will most likely be the only overseas visitors there.

Camel Market Near the Coca-cola factory on the way to Oman, you can stop and see the camel market. See the tradesman selling livestock and camels. Be careful- we were offered two camels for our daughter!

Al Ain Palace is a great place to learn about the history of the royal family and the history of this little town.
