Let me tell you about a secret spot I found while searching for ancient culture in an international concrete jungle. The camel market (image 1-5), located in Al Ain, is where merchants come to trade their camels. From sunrise to sunset, camel vendors gather in the market and wait for people to come and negotiate with them. Passing by the rows of camel sheds, we arrived in a small square downtown. Vendors in traditional Arabic dress walked around with their camels. As they bargained with one another, their lively voices created a spirited hubbub. We drew vendors' attention as we walked into the market. It was then that we noticed the lack of female camel traders. Vendors excitedly came and told us about their camels when we arrived. Al Jahili Fort - If you want to travel through time and talk to the ancients, Al Jahili Fort is definitely worth visiting. Al Jahili Fort was constructed in the late 19th century and the early 20th century. The yellow castle blends in with the desert. It's hard to associate this humble-looking structure with the idea of a "royal and luxurious" palace, and it seems a world away from the modern metropolis of Dubai. Nevertheless, it is the largest royal summer palace in the UAE. About a century ago, this was the residence of the Arabic nobility. It is also the birthplace of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founder of the UAE. Sharjah Heritage Area - Known as the capital of Arabic culture, Sharjah is home to many art museums, folk customs and archaeological findings. Here, you appreciate every detail of the Islamic world. For these reasons, it lives up to its reputation. Sharjah Heritage Area, also known as Heart of Sharjah, is home to several museums. It is one of the city's hidden gems. This ancient town is practically a museum of Arabic civilization. Although these buildings have been renovated, the original layout and pattern remain unchanged. When compared with well-developed modern cities, time seems to slow down here. It is like a healthy heart, beating rhythmically. Motor Traffic: 1. Dubai to Al Ain: The coach from the Al Ghubaiba station departs once per hour, and a one-way ticket costs 20 dirham. You'll get to Al Ain in two hours. Al Ghubaiba is a bus/coach station in Dubai providing easy transfers. As it is not far away from Dubai Creek, you'll get a great view of the river on your way back from Al Ain at night. 2. Al Ain to Dubai: You can catch the bus at the station opposite the Lulu Centre and get off in Al Ghubaiba. 3. Transport in Al Ain: Neither public transport nor Uber is convenient in Al Ain, so we traveled by taxi instead. Traveling from Al Jahili Fort to Ain Mall, Ain Mall to the camel market, or the camel market to the bus station will cost 20-30 dirham. Remember that the camel market is quite remote, so there are fewer taxis around here. However, there is a nearby superstore, so if you can't find a taxi, you can walk 15 minutes to the mall. Here, you'll find plenty of taxis by the main entrance. 4. Sharjah Heritage Area - Dubai to Sharjah: You can catch the bus at Al Ghubaiba and get off at Al Jubayl. The bus departs every ten minutes, and a one-way ticket costs 10 dirham. You'll get to your destination after half an hour. As Al Jubayl is a stone's throw away from the scenic area, you can walk there. You can also pay 5 dirham for a taxi on a hot day, of course. Returning from Sharjah to Dubai: You can hail a taxi at Al Jubayl station and get out at Al Ghubaiba.
