How would you describe life in Al Ain?

You are talking of a city? is Al Ain that big?

Al Ain is not that big. However, you could find everything you want here. Malls, hotels, sports clubs, dessert camping,dune safari, etc. If you are tired with the place, you can go to the nearby cities such as Abu Dhabi and Dubai. If you want out of UAE, you just need your passport to go to Oman by land.

Hello there!

I've lived in Al-Ain since 1996, and I've seen it grow tremendously over the last decade and a half. Though the city's a lot bigger now than it was back when i first moved here, I'd still describe it as a small, quiet town. I'd say its a pretty good place to live if you dont like the hustle and bustle of big cities.
