Bidaa Bint Saud

Situated 25 kilometres north of Al Ain, Bidaa Bint Saud is a treasure trove for archaeological enthusiasts. The ancient caravan site features a rare Iron Age building, irrigation systems and 5,000-year-old Bronze Age tombs.

The area is largely dominated by Gharn bint Saud, a 40-metre-tall rock rising above the landscape with several ancient stone tombs at the top. Archaeological excavations have also found artefacts like pottery and stone vessels, dagger blades, bronze arrowheads and various types of beads.
