Al Ain Oasis, one of the city's seven oases, it has been protected and developed for its tourism potential. It has eight entrances, some of which have arched gates. The oasis is divided into numerous sections for date farming and they are owned by various departments, sheikhs and other nationals. All the plantations in the oasis are walled off and irrigated by falaj, an ancient irrigation system of narrow waterways that was first used as early as 1000BC. The water comes from the mountains about 30 kilometres away.
