Qattara Oasis, Archaeological oasis in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates
The Qattara Oasis contains nineteen historic earthen buildings, including traditional shops, residential areas, three forts, and nine ancient mosques within palm gardens.
The oasis features a 14-meter Bronze Age burial site dating back to 1800-1500 BCE, containing chlorite vessels, bronze swords, and carnelian jewelry.
The Al Qattara Arts Centre occupies a traditional mud-brick tower, preserving remnants from the Iron Age and ancient copper production facilities.
The 1930s Al Qattara Souq maintains thirty-eight shops arranged along a covered corridor, utilizing thick mud walls for temperature regulation.
The Al Daramikah Tower guards the falaj irrigation system, which channels water from the Hajar Mountains to sustain agriculture in this desert environment.
