Al Ain, Inland city in Abu Dhabi Emirate, United Arab Emirates

Al Ain extends across fertile land at the base of Mount Hafit, forming a triangle with Abu Dhabi and Dubai at 130 kilometers from each city point.

Archaeological excavations reveal ancient tombs containing carved animal and human figures from 2700 BCE, indicating early settlement patterns in this region.

The city maintains rigorous building height regulations limiting structures to seven stories while preserving traditional architecture and numerous palm groves throughout its districts.

The local transportation network includes an airport offering flights to Egypt and Pakistan, plus extensive road connections to Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

The area contains multiple experimental farms established since 1967 that transformed desert sections into agricultural land for intensive stock raising and crop cultivation.
