Al Ain, known as the Garden City of the UAE, offers a refreshing getaway for tourists looking to escape the heat.

The numerous date palms that form the oasis provide much-needed shade and create a cozy environment for summer explorers.

Walk through the mangroves of Abu Dhabi – if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to spot turtles, herons and gazelles that roam the area.

Just 30 minutes from the city, this mangrove park acts as a barrier between the sea and the coast. Whether you’re a bird watcher, a nature lover, or a passionate photographer, this place offers a fascinating experience.

The country’s tallest mountain, located in Ras Al Khaimah, offers not only breathtaking views but also exciting activities such as hiking and zip lining. Also, as you know, the higher the altitude, the cooler the temperature.
