THE EXPERIENCE
Discover Hili Archaeological Park
Hili contains evidence of early agricultural communities alongside monuments associated with Bronze Age and Iron Age settlement. The garden setting makes the archaeological landscape approachable, but the significance lies in what the remains reveal about how people lived and organised their surroundings long before today's city.
Read the interpretation where provided and use the permitted visitor route to understand the different features. This gives more meaning to structures that may otherwise seem difficult to place in time. Pairing Hili with an Al Ain fort introduces two very different periods within the same regional heritage story.
- Bronze Age archaeological remains
- Early agricultural settlement evidence
- Garden setting within Al Ain's heritage landscape
