🎧 Listen to Introduction
The Al Ain cultural sites (Hafit, Hili, Bidda bint Saud and the oasis area) are a group of properties that testify to the human settlement of the desert area since the Neolithic period, leaving behind many remains of prehistoric cultures. Notable remains of the property include circular stone tombs (circa 2500 BC), wells and various adobe buildings: residential buildings, towers, palaces and administrative buildings. In addition, Hili also has the oldest Aflaj irrigation system, which dates back to the Iron Age. These properties provide important testimony to the cultural transformation of the region from a hunter-gatherer society to a settled society.
