Location of Hili Archaeological Park in United Arab Emirates

Hili Archaeological Park is the location of a Bronze Age site in Al Ain, Emirate of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.[1]

Hili is the largest Bronze Age site in the UAE and dates from the 3rd millennium BCE. Other remains include settlements, tombs, and a falaj dating from the Iron Age. Some of the site is located outside the park in a protected area. Finds from the site can be seen in the Al Ain National Museum in central Al Ain.

The Hili Grand Tomb is a 12 m diameter tower that has been reconstructed.[2] The tombs belong to the Umm al-Nar culture.
