Eight gates lead into the great date plantations of this famous oasis, with some 150,000 trees of around 100 varieties. Simply wander around this tranquil, jungly maze, away from the hubbub of the city, and keep an eye out for the 3000-year-old falaj natural irrigation system lacing the grounds. It's easy to get lost – if you do, ask a security guard for a lift on a buggy (offer a tip). The oasis is off Zayed bin Sultan St.
