Founded way back in the mid-20th century, the restored Souq Al Qattara was founded by the late Sheikh Shakhbut bin Sultan Al Nahyan on the palm-lined road linking Al Ain’s Al Qattara and Al Jimi oases. The historic Souq Al Qattara is a UNESCO world heritage site, renovated and reopened, where visitors can experience good old fashioned entertainment, in a traditional Arab setting. The Souq is linked to the redeveloped Al Qattara Fort, now home to a popular arts centre, featuring hundreds of modern exhibits, workshops, a cafe and a library.
