Sheikh Hazza bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler's Representative in Al Ain Region, has visited Al Ain Oasis Hub, a leisure destination spanning over 23,000 square metres, offering hospitality and community amenities while showcasing Al Ain Region's architectural and cultural heritage. During his visit, H.H. Sheikh Hazza bin Zayed received a comprehensive presentation on the hub, developed in collaboration with Al Ain City Municipality and Eagle Hills, a real estate investment and development company.
According to Emirates News Agency, the hub features 1.2 kilometres of walkways and three signature sensory gardens: Reflections Garden, Ripple Garden, and Mist and Dry Fountain Garden. H.H. Sheikh Hazza bin Zayed toured the site, exploring its various components and design features that create an immersive experience reflecting Al Ain Region's environmental and architectural identity. The hub is situated in the historic Al Ain Oasis district, near Al Ain Museum.
H.H. Sheikh Hazza bin Zayed was accompanied by Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan; Rashed Musabbeh Al Manei, Director-General of Al Ain City Municipality; and Mohamed Alabbar, Chairman of Eagle Hills. He emphasized that Al Ain Oasis Hub enhances the quality of life by offering amenities aligned with the historical and cultural identity of the region.
H.H. Sheikh Hazza bin Zayed highlighted how the destination enriches the urban and tourism landscapes of the region by providing vibrant public spaces that meet community aspirations, aligning with Abu Dhabi's vision of building sustainable cities that preserve heritage and the environment.
The hub includes more than 770 newly planted trees, featuring local and continental species, and hosts 17 restaurants and caf©s with views of green landscapes. It is anchored by a 22-metre-tall observation deck and includes a 268-metre-long walkway built along the palm tree canopy, up to 4 metres above the ground.
The destination also offers an interactive after-dark experience called Sura Nightscapes, a light and sound installation inspired by the historic falaj irrigation system. This 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 is in line with the goals of the Abu Dhabi Tourism Strategy 2030, which aims to attract approximately 520,000 visitors to the Al Ain Region annually by 2030, establishing it as a leading cultural and leisure destination through high-quality amenities and diverse visitor experiences.
