Top 10 Archaeology Tours in United Arab Emirates, United Arab Emirates

December 25, 2021 Terina Blouin

Nomadic tribal heritage and modern society co-exist in the UAE, a federation of seven emirates at the southeastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula. Look beyond the desert that consumes four-fifths of its area and you'll find UAE capital Abu Dhabi, an oil-rich city of skyscrapers, parks and malls, and Dubai, with its split personality of luxury resorts and covered marketplaces, upscale boutiques and local artisans. For a break from urban sprawl, journey over rolling red sand dunes into the Hatta Mountains, where the 200-year-old Sharia Mosque sits amid 30 restored buildings of sandalwood and mud.

Loved it, loved it, loved it! Would definitely be back for more. It was an afternoon of education and fun. I took two packages - Archaeological tour and Fossil hunt. The museum exhibits were interesting, the archaeological sites were breathtaking, the fossil hunt was fun! Of course, I wont forget the kindness from the staff the Centre - the sales staff was so patient on the phone for me, the team came early for my booking, and the smiles from the staff in the Centre - beautiful. Personally, I am grateful to have my activities with education coordinator Prabhu and transport provided by Umar. They have made my solo trip so enjoyable! The Centre is only an hour's drive from Dubai, and with transport option available, I strongly encourage a visit with an open and curious mind. Check out its website!
