"The Al-Ain camel market is the last market of its kind in the entire country. Visitors can get close to the animals and learn from traders what makes them valuable. Goats and sheep are also on display. A visit is an ideal immersion in Arabic culture. Most trading happens in the morning, but you can visit the pens throughout the day. Guided tours are available for about 30 AED (about $8), but not necessary—you can stroll the pens on your own." - Laura Ratliff
