It is the largest mosque in Al Ain and one of the most beautiful and important mosques in the Emirates. The mosque opened its doors to visitors in April 2021, captivating everyone with its unique architecture and dome decorated with verses from the Holy Quran, written in the most beautiful Arabic calligraphy, with a diameter of 86 meters and covering the main sanctuary of the mosque.
Visitors can learn about the life of Sheikh Zayed, may he rest in peace.
Built in 1958, the house was the home of Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan (1909-1979), the father-in-law of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founding father of the United Arab Emirates. Due to its prime location, it became the first landmark that travelers coming to Al Ain from Abu Dhabi would see. At the time of its construction, the house was a testament to the great transformation in the history of the Emirates (between the 1930s and 1960s), an era marked by the diversity and intermingling of architectural styles that developed as a result of oil exploration and discovery.
A distinguished heritage site, ideal for learning about Al Ain's history.

I visited the heritage train market today with the happy tour guide. This is my first visit to this historic place where a cultural and educational center for children is also available at Kofi with a very special view. It''s a special place worth a visit. Thank you.
Visit to the reopening of Al Ain Museum after restoration I attended the opening of the museum, and this was my first visit since its closure in 2018 for the restoration of the oldest museum in the UAE. The weather is beautiful at this time of the year in the city. The place is wonderful and worth visiting. Thank you for this experience. — Saeed

We took advantage of the beautiful landscapes from the Hili landscape and learned a lot about the ruins and historical information of Hili's tombs, as well as important information about the palm and the waterway before it
