Saruq Al Hadid Archaeological Site, Archaeological site in Dubai Emirate, United Arab Emirates.
The excavation site contains thousands of metal artifacts, tools, weapons, and pottery pieces from ancient settlements in the Arabian desert landscape.
Discovered in 2002 by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the site reveals extensive evidence of Iron Age metalworking dating back to 1000 BC.
The archaeological findings demonstrate advanced metalworking techniques and trade connections between ancient communities across the Arabian Peninsula and neighboring regions.
Visitors can explore the artifacts and learn about the excavation process through guided tours at the dedicated Saruq Al-Hadid Archaeological Museum.
The location earned its name 'Path of Iron' from the large quantities of metal artifacts and smelting materials found scattered across the desert site.
