The second instalment of My Old House will kick off on December 23. As part of the Al Ain Cultural Programme 2017/18, the tour offers the public a view of the old houses and architecture styles that were adopted by early Emirati residents.
Tour guides from the Al Ain National Museum will also lead discussions on the natural materials used to build the houses as well as the lifestyle and traditions that were popular during that same period.
Al Ain is renowned for its historic roots. Al Ain Oasis is also home to the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in the UAE.
Tours will begin at 9am from Al Ain National Museum and include visits to Al Ain Oasis, Al Qubaisi House, Jimi Historic Buildings, Qattara Historic Buildings, and Qattara Arts Centre and Souk.
The second instalment of the My Old House tours will run on December 23 2017, from 9am — 12:30pm. The tours are open to all, and are free. Prior registration is required through aanm@dctabudhabi.ae.

Tips for entertaining with ease
· Set the table the night before. It’s a small job but it will make you feel more organised once done.
· As the host, your mood sets the tone. If people arrive to find you red-faced and harried, they’re not going to relax until you do. Take a deep breath and try to exude calm energy.
· Guests tend to turn up thirsty. Fill a big jug with iced water and lemon or lime slices and encourage people to help themselves.
· Have some background music on to help create a bit of ambience and fill any initial lulls in conversations.
· The meal certainly doesn’t need to be ready the moment your guests step through the door, but if there’s a nibble or two that can be passed around it will ward off hunger pangs and buy you a bit more time in the kitchen.
· You absolutely don’t have to make every element of the brunch from scratch. Take inspiration from our ideas for ready-made extras and by all means pick up a store-bought dessert.
