Grab your luggage, walk out of Al Ain Airport (AAN), and collect your rental car. Which one you jump into depends on where you want to go. If you’ll be mostly driving in downtown Al Ain, around 7 miles from the terminal, you’ll want something small and zippy. A compact car with good handling will suit those busy city streets. But with loads of things to see, like the stunning sandy shores of the surrounding region, you’ll probably be racking up a few miles. A larger vehicle, like an SUV or a full-size car, will make longer road trips a pleasure.
