Excellent day out for the family. Large zoo with a great variety of animals. Put some good walking shoes on! Opportunities are provided to feed the animals or watch them being fed, including giraffes and crocodiles! Cost involved for these activities.

The desert oasis Al Ain is a leisure place far away from the city and is also the oldest oasis community in the UAE. The area here is inside the desert and has water resources and some plants. There are also hotels where you can choose to stay for a few nights to experience the desert climate.

The Abu Dhabi Castle is also a very interesting local building in Dubai. This castle is also a very typical Arabic-style building. The castle has a very simple structure and it itself has many distinctive areas. It is a very unique place.

The Al Ain Palace Museum is my most profound impression. The palace has become a museum with rich and exquisite collections. It takes three hours to see it all. If you buy a package ticket, you can visit three points. The palace and the crown special exhibition is quite worth the price.
