Hafeet Archaeological Site
Jebel Hafeet, Al BuraimiPlaces

The Hafeet archaeological site sits on the Omani side of Jebel Hafeet, the mountain straddling the border between Al Buraimi and Al Ain that gives its name to the Hafit period, the earliest Bronze Age culture of southeast Arabia, dating to roughly 3100 to 2700 BC. Its beehive shaped stone tombs once held imported pottery from Mesopotamia, evidence of early copper trade routes linking the Oman interior to Iraq, and the site is counted among Al Buraimi's most important tourist attractions, reflecting the deep history shared between the Hafit and later Umm an Nar civilisations.
