๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ช Al Ain: ูฑู„ู’ุนูŽูŠู’ู†โ€Ž is a city in the Eastern Region of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, situated on the United Arab Emirates' border with Oman, adjacent to the town of Al-Buraimi. It is the largest inland city in the Emirates, and the second-largest in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

Al-Ain is known as the "Garden City" due to its greenery, particularly with regard to the city's oases, parks, tree-lined avenues and decorative roundabouts, with there being strict height controls on new buildings, to no more than seven floors. The region of Al-Ain and Al-Buraimi, altogether Tawam or Al-Buraimi Oasis, is of cultural and historical importance. Al-Ain may also be the site of the oldest mosque in the country, in the premises of the Sheikh Khalifa Mosque.

Al Ain is located approximately 160 km (99ย mi) east of the capital Abu Dhabi, and about 120 km (75ย mi) south of Dubai. The eastern region covers an area of approximately 13,100ย kmยฒ (5,100ย sqย mi). Oman lies to the east, Dubai and Sharjah to the north, Abu Dhabi to the west and the Empty Quarter desert and Saudi Arabia to the south. The topography of Al-Ain is unique and varies as one travels to the east. The ecologically important Jebel Hafeet ("Mount Hafeet"), an outlier of the main Hajar range, is considered one of the monuments of Al-Ain, lying just to the south of the city. Rising to 1,100โ€“1,400 metres (0.68โ€“0.87 miles) in elevation, Jabal Hafeet is one of the highest mountains in the country, and has a number of ridges which stretch to the inner part of the city, two of which are Jabal An-Naqfah (which touches Al-Ain Oasis), and the Western ridge. Sand dunes of varying texture that are tinged red with iron oxide lie to the north and east of Al-Ain.
