The second largest city in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, Al Ain is an upcoming travel destination in the United Arab Emirates that offers a plethora of recreation activities and opportunities for tourists to delve in. There are a number of museums and recreation parks in addition to towering mountains, natural mineral springs and seven desert oases, making it simply a perfect tourist destination for many. On a trip to Al Ain, travellers can discover Al Ain oasis- the largest natural oasis in the region; explore the treasures of the Al Ain National Museum and Al Ain Palace Museum and enjoy surfing, kayaking and other sporting activities at Wadi Adventure- an exciting recreation park. One of the star attractions of the city is the Hili Archaeological Park- a Bronze Age site that is known for its rich archaeological heritage. Al Ain Zoo is an excellent place to visit with family and friends on an Al Ain tour. There are plenty of shopping and dining options as well in this city that suitably meet the individual preferences of the visitors.

Aptly called the ‘Garden City,’ this place represents a perfect haven of fun and relaxation in the middle of a desert region. MakeMyTrip presents several excellent travel packages, availing one of which can make any tour to this city an unforgettable experience.

Japan’s well-preserved culture, with traditions in innate welcoming nature of the people, gift-giving, temple-going and bathing is still strong today, set against backdrops of snow-covered mountains, futuristic cities, ancient temples, islands and forests scattered along a 3,000km archipelago. Highlight of any visit includes the ancient art of the Japanese tea ceremony to sushi etiquette, and from Gion, Kyoto's geisha district, to enlightening walks along the Golden Route, following in the footsteps of samurai warriors. A timeless place where the speed of new technological developments is matched by the longevity of its ancient customs. Get around town in the shinkansen (bullet train). Meditate with monks or learn how to whisk bitter matcha (powdered green tea) into a froth. Tokyo, a huge metropolis offers quirky experiences and amazing food. Kyoto is packed with history, important temples, gorgeous architecture and a charming atmosphere. The stunning Temple of Golden Pavilion in Kyoto with garden setting and the Osaka Castle are must see. Hakone, a peaceful retreat at the footsteps of Mt. Fuji provides a chance to relax in an onsen (hot spring bath) and sleep in a ryokan (a traditional Japanese inn). The country is swathed in natural beauty; ski the powdery slopes of Hokkaido, revel in the springtime beauty of the ‘Sakura’ cherry blossoms or frolic at the sun kissed beaches. Wherever you go, great food is guaranteed. From fresh sushi and sashimi to charcoal fired meats and sizzling sauces, Japan is a joy for gastronomes.
