Had never heard about Al Ain Oasis earlier, and it was a pleasant experience to visit the Al Ain Museum. It gives great knowledge of Arabic living and culture in olden days. We spent more than 2 hours and were very happy to have visited the museum ????

In my opinion, this is historically the most important place of Al Ain. Fort and the old museum is under restoration and a new museum is being built. They will probably be opened on 2024 autumn.

It's good educational trip we had. The children loved it. The tour to the oasis and museum was informative for me too. Bus tour is recommended and affordable.

Unfortunately, the museum is closed and by the looks of it for quite some time.

Very informative place. Must visit the museum to know and see the history of Al Ain and it's nearby places. We enjoyed our visit to the museum and fort. The place is well maintained and worth more than the small entry fee of AED 3.00.

Quaint little museum attached to a small fort. Lots of antiquities from the country on show. It's 3 AED per adult for a visit, maybe it should have been free. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There is no taxi line. Getting a taxi means a walk to the nearest main road across a car park.

Al Ain National Museum was established in 1969 under the guidance of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
Collections
The museum consists of two main sections:

The Ethnographic Section illustrates the life of people occupying the region during the pre-oil era. It highlights remarkable phases in the life of a typical citizen at that time such as birth, education, marriage, and working life. The section displays some old versions of the Holy Quran, manuscripts, women clothes and cosmetic materials.
The Archaeological Section exhibits the antiquities of the country's ancient ages in a chronological order beginning with the Stone Age, then the Bronze Age (The third and second Millennium BC), over the Hellenistic eras, and ending with the Islamic Ages. Discoveries of these various ages such as stone tools, ironware, bronze ware, in addition to pottery and arrow heads, are all displayed in this section. Moreover, this section highlights the modern developments and the cultural transition, which the country witnessed following the discovery of oil with all its socio-economic impacts.
Entrance Fees: 3 AED
