Highlights: Buraimi is the sister town of Al Ain (UAE) and located on the Omani side of the border that divides the two. Visitors can move freely between the two cities, making this a fine way to get a taste of the UAE without the hassle of obtaining a visa. Al Ain is the main town in the Buraimi Oasis, which is probably the longest inhabited part of what is now the UAE.
