Jumeirah Archaeological Site, Archaeological site in Jumeirah district, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The excavated site spans 80,000 square meters and contains remains of residences, a marketplace, and religious structures from ancient Dubai.
Archaeological excavations between 1969 and 2008 revealed structures and artifacts dating back to the Abbasid Period from 900 to 1200 CE.
The discovered caravanserai with fifteen rooms around a central courtyard reflects the importance of trade routes connecting India, China, Oman, and Iraq.
The Dubai Culture & Arts Authority manages the site, which requires transportation by taxi due to its location and Dubai's climate conditions.
The site earned the name White City due to the white plaster covering eight buried buildings, including the first mosque of Dubai.
