The Al Ain National Museum, located to the east of the Al Ain Oasis reflects the daily life of the people of the region before the influence of western culture. There are reconstructions of traditional majilis in the grounds. Inside the museum are displays of garments, household items and utensils, gold and silver jewellery and weaponry. The Archaeological Section displays discoveries dating back to the Bronze and Iron ages, including gold pendants, pottery, a coin collection, flints and arrowheads nearly 7500 years old.Photographs dramatically illustrate how much the region has changed in such a short time.
Don't forget to go into the Sultan Fort when you have looked at the exhibits.
Admission is a mere 3AED. Excellent value for money!
After your visit I suggest that you walk through the Oasis to the Sheikh Zayed Palace Museum.
