About

Site archéologique avec des tombes anciennes et des vestiges de l'âge du bronze datant de 4 000 ans. L'un des éléments clés du site du patrimoine mondial UNESCO d'Al Ain.

Bida Bint Saud is an archaeological heritage site in Al Ain, in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. It preserves ancient tombs and Bronze Age remains, dating back around 4,000 years, and it forms one of the key components of the Al Ain UNESCO World Heritage site.

What to expect

This is a visit for anyone interested in the deep past of the region. The site is about the burial places and remains left by people who lived here during the Bronze Age, and it offers a direct look at the archaeology rather than a reconstructed display. Because it is a protected heritage site, visitors are best approached as they would any archaeological landscape: with care, and with an interest in reading the remains.

Around the site

Bida Bint Saud sits within Al Ain, a city known for its oasis setting and its place in the wider UNESCO listing. Pairing a visit here with other components of that heritage area gives a fuller picture of how settlement and burial developed across the same landscape over thousands of years.
