THE EXPERIENCE

Discover Ed-Dur Archaeological Site

Ed-Dur introduces a much earlier chapter of the emirate’s history than the old-town fort. Its ancient settlement and conserved temple help explain the Gulf’s connections through trade and belief.

Visit only under current authorised arrangements. A heritage designation or news report does not establish daily opening hours, and fragile remains should be viewed without climbing, moving stones or collecting anything.

  • Ancient coastal-settlement history
  • Conserved temple remains
  • Maritime trading context
