UAE’s Siniyah Island

  • Archaeologists said on Monday they have found the oldest pearling town in the Gulf on Siniyah island, off one of the northern emirates of the United Arab Emirates.
  • Artifacts found in this town on Siniyah Island in Umm al-Quwain, likely once home to thousands of people and hundreds of homes, date as far back as the region’s pre-Islamic history in the late 6th century.
  • While older pearling towns have been mentioned in historical texts, this represents the first time archaeologists say they have physically found one from this ancient era across the nations of the Gulf.
