al ain oasis

The Al Ain oasis sits in the middle of the city.  It is an area where there is water and many date palm trees, as well as the occasional lime or mango tree.  It has beige walkways with low walls that twist around the palms and is a good place to walk.  It is quiet here, with only the occasional twitter of a bird.  Throughout the oasis, you can see falaj, or irrigation channels that supply water to the palms.  Al Ain is known for its oasis and green areas throughout the UAE.  #ibmcsc uae
