Al Ain City opens oasis of heritage and nature

Al Ain City Municipality has completed the Al Hayer Oasis project in the city at a cost of Dh1.7 million. It covers an area of about 25,500 square metres.

The project includes recreational facilities such as walkways, on the edges of which are Al falaj interspersed with various types of palm and local crops.

The project promotes caring for the palm tree, in addition to implementing a nursery for local plants to introduce visitors to traditional agricultural practices, types of local plants and various palm varieties, while providing several places for community interaction.

Mohammad Thani Al Muhairi, Director of Parks and Recreation Department at Al Hayer Municipality Centre, said that the municipality has transformed the old nursery in the Al Hayer area into an entertainment park.

Several recreational facilities have been added.

Food kiosks have also been prepared both inside and outside the oasis, serving both visitors and road users. The central plaza has been prepared for hosting exhibitions and seasonal events and creating an outlet for people in the vicinity to observe national events.
