Oasis Garden

The Oasis Garden, located within the Al Ain Oasis in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, is a remarkable destination for nature lovers and those seeking a serene getaway. Positioned just a short distance from the capital, this UNESCO World Heritage site portrays the beauty of an oasis ecosystem through three distinct sub-gardens.


The first tier of the Oasis Garden represents the initial stage of oasis formation. Here, you can witness the growth of crops that thrive in arid regions, accompanied by small palm trees that provide comforting shade. This tier also features the cultivation of sacred plants and desert flora renowned for their therapeutic properties, including henna, indigo, and aloe. You can explore the small agricultural plots where these plants are carefully tended.


Moving on to the second tier, you'll discover a miscellaneous array of trees that flourish in oasis environments. Figs, pomegranates, lemons, bananas, and olives from regions spanning the Mediterranean, Africa, and China take center stage in this section. Stroll through this lush oasis landscape and marvel at the rich variety of fruits and vegetation that thrive here.


The third tier of the Oasis Garden introduces you to an impressive display of towering plant foliage that combats the intense desert sun by casting refreshing shade. This shading allows other plants to thrive in challenging desert conditions. While palm trees dominate the Al Ain Oasis, this symbolic garden showcases a unique selection of plants that fulfill this important role.
