Al Ain National Museum

On the edge of Al Ain Oasis, this museum showcases the city's unique heritage and history. Divided into three main sections—archaeology, ethnography and gifts—its presentations illustrate various aspects of UAE life including Bedouin jewelry, musical instruments, weapons, and a reconstruction of a traditional majlis.

Some displays date back to the first millennium BC, with artefacts from nearby Hili Gardens. The gifts section features items presented to Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, including golden swords, silver daggers and a golden palm tree. Displays are labelled in English and Arabic.
