Al Ain Paradise (one of the greenest cities in the whole of Arabia)



Al Ain /meaning “spring”/ is the second largest city in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and the fourth largest city in the United Arab Emirates. Dotted with almost 65 manicured gardens each having a unique style, Al Ain is one of the greenest cities in the whole of Arabia. Known as the Garden City due to its greenery, the city is the Guinness record holder, which has recognized it as the world’s largest garden. Attracting 7,000 visitors in one day, the gardens are probably the most famous attraction in the city.

The city has now become famous as a holiday resort for the people of the UAE as well as the tourists. With a size of four football pitches, this expansive park is home to approximately 10 million flowers, a 12 meter tall replica of the Eiffel Tower. The visitors had a unique experience to see millions of flowers in different colors, types, and settings – in a city known for its desert dunes.

Built on an oasis, this stunningly green city stands out like a verdant emerald in the heart of the hostile desert. The garden occupies an area of 21,000 square meters including the corridors and walkways of the internal length of 2,400 meters. The garden has 2,965 flower baskets, instead of the previous 2,500 baskets, in addition to the flower pyramids. The entrance is free.
