AL HILI ARCHEOLOGICAL PARK
AL HILI ARCHEOLOGICAL PAR
AL HILI ARCHEOLOGICAL PARK (Mohammed Bon Khalifa Street, Al Ain, Abu Dhabi) — the village of Al Hili, about 12 km north of Al Ain City, has become internationally known for its archaeological excavations which were conducted starting in the late 1960s. Teams from universities around the world have discovered remains of a settlement and tombs dating back to the third millennium BC, which provide unique insights into early life in the region. To make the findings accessible to the public, the Abu Dhabi Government built Al Hili Archaeological Park around the sights. Here, people can discover the early history of Abu Dhabi Emirate in a relaxed garden atmosphere, which has made the sights a popular destination for weekend-trips. Next to Al Hili Archaeological Park is Hili Fun City, a family park with numerous attractions, such as picnic facilities, roller coasters and the Al Ain Ice Rink.
Al Hili Archaeological Park lies 12 km from the Al Ain National Museum near Dubai Highway. Free admission. Hours: 4:00 pm – 11:00 pm daily (for families only).
