JEBEL MISHT & THE BEEHIVE TOMBS🐝 🇴🇲

The Archaeological Sites of Bat, Al-Khutm and Al-Ayn are a group of necropolises from the 3rd Millennium BC, located near a palm grove. They were declared World Heritage by UNESCO in 1988. Located little bit less than 3 hours drive from the capital Muscat, the necropolis of Al-Ayn is the smallest amongst the three groups of beehives tombs. Despite its size, it is the best-preserved and probably the most accessible since the site is not fenced. These alleged tombs date back to Oman’s early Bronze Age (circa 3100-2700 BCE) and have gotten their connotation due to their Beehive look alike shapes. It’s fascinating to be able to witness these structures of such precision in the engineering and execution that lasted almost 5,000 years so far! These can arguably be some of oldest and most well-preserved/constructed man made structures in the world, despite their prominent and exposed position. What adds to the magnificence of this location in specific is the dramatic backdrop of Jebel Misht [lit. Comb Mountain]; which is one the largest cliff drops in the region earning the title of Dolomites of Arabia! >>> Check out the Video in the highlight! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
