Chambered Cairn in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Round masoned chambered cairns dating to 2500-2000 BCE on an Island next to Abu Dhabi which holds the city state's oil refinery and the Airport. Some have been restored, others remain as piles of rubble.
The Umm al-Nar Island was then found to be the home of a culture now known as the Umm al-Nar culture, which spread as far as Oman.
