With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore everything that Al Ain, 35 miles away, has to offer. Al Ain Zoo should be toward the top of your list here. Al Ain Mall and Al Ain Oasis Park are also not to be missed. Don’t forget about Dubai either! Just 45 miles away, Dubai Fountain, Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo and Dubai Opera are non-negotiable stops here.
