ADM NEWS | Hazza bin Zayed visits Al Ain Oasis Hub in Al Ain Region
His Highness was given a detailed presentation of the hub, which was developed in collaboration between AL Ain City Municipality and real estate investment and development company Eagle Hills. The destination includes 1.2 kilometres of walkways and three signature sensory gardens: Reflections Garden, Ripple Garden and Mist & Dry Fountain Garden.
During a site tour, His Highness explored the hub’s various components and was introduced to the design features that create an immersive visitor experience reflecting the environmental and architectural identity of Al Ain Region. The hub is located within the historic Al Ain Oasis district, near Al Ain Museum.
His Highness was accompanied by His Excellency Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan; His Excellency Rashed Musabbeh Al Manei, Director-General of Al Ain City Municipality; and His Excellency Mohamed Alabbar, Chairman of Eagle Hills.
The hub features more than 770 newly planted trees, including local and continental species, and hosts 17 restaurants and cafés overlooking green landscapes. It is anchored by a 22-metre-tall observation deck and features a 268-metre-long walkway, built along the palm tree canopy up to 4 metres above the ground.
The destination also introduces an interactive after-dark experience titled Sura Nightscapes, a light and sound installation inspired by the historic falaj irrigation system and the significance of the oasis as a life source. The experience takes visitors through six themed zones: Wayfinders, The Grove, Dunes, Everdew, Motherwell and Moon Tides, where storytelling and immersive design highlight the oasis’ natural and human heritage.
The project aligns with the goals of the Abu Dhabi Tourism Strategy 2030, which seeks to attract approximately 520,000 visitors to Al Ain Region annually by 2030 by strengthening its position as a leading cultural and leisure destination through the development of high-quality amenities and diverse visitor experiences.
