A
Jumeirah Archaeological Site
This is one of the most significant archaeological sites in the UAE, but there’s so little left to see that it’s really only of interest to folks with more than a passing interest in the remote past. With origins in the 6th century AD, the settlement was once a caravan stop on a route linking Iraq and Oman and is interesting in that it spans the pre-Islamic and Islamic eras. Pottery, tools, coins and other items unearthed here are displayed at Dubai Museum and the Heritage Village.

Hili Archaeological Park
Use the knowledge you’ve gained at Al-Ain National Museum to make better sense of the remains in the nicely landscaped Hili Archaeological Park. Dating back to the Bronze Age (about 4000 years), these include foundations of a tower and mud-brick buildings as well as the restored circular Grand Tomb with its decorative carvings.
