Hike, splash and drive in Al Ain

For a full day of adventure, journey to the imposing Jebel Hafit mountain, Abu Dhabi’s tallest peak about an hour and 30 minutes from the city in Al Ain, for a hike.

Then, make a splash at Wadi Adventure, home to the region's first man-made white-water rafting channels. There’s also kayaking, a surfing wall, wakeboarding, a swimming pool, splash pool and aerial adventure course, including a 200-metre-long zip line and four-metre-high giant swing.

Later, rev things up at the Al Ain Raceway, an impressive motorsports venue with a 1.6km go-karting track, which is Arabia’s largest.
