The Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) will be celebrating cultural diversity with special events in Al Ain until 2020.

The cultural activities will take place at Al Ain Oasis, Al Ain Palace Museum, Al Jahili Fort and beyond. The events will offer a wide array of events and activities for everyone to enjoy!

The historic Al Ain Oasis sprawls across 3,000-acre and provides a unique insight into the region's inhabitants who began taming the desert 4,000 years ago. The oasis holds up to 100 different varieties of vegetations, with widespread plantations that are also working farms.

Shaped by a complex shared water supply, the Al Ain Oasis is based on both wells and ‘falaj’, the UAE’s traditional irrigation system. It has plenty of working examples of the falaj that have been used for centuries to tap into underground wells.
