Import from India to Al Ain — Trusted Indian Exporter for the UAE's Garden City.
Al Ain is the UAE’s fourth-largest city and Abu Dhabi Emirate’s inland capital — a UNESCO World Heritage cultural city known as the ‘Garden City’ for its remarkable greenery in the heart of the desert. Al Ain is a major agricultural, educational, and industrial hub with a large Indian expatriate community, world-class healthcare facilities, and a thriving construction sector driven by ADNOC operations and Abu Dhabi’s urban expansion into the interior.
Located 160 km east of Abu Dhabi and 130 km south of Dubai, Al Ain is strategically positioned on the Oman border (adjacent to Buraimi). At 3 Hatz India Pvt. Ltd., we serve Al Ain-based importers, agri traders, construction contractors, and distributors with authentic Indian products backed by India-UAE CEPA benefits and end-to-end logistics.
