Dilmun Burial Mounds (A'ali)
تلال مدافن دلمون
UNESCO-listed Dilmun burial mounds. The royal burial mounds in A'ali village rise more than 10 meters high, a spectacular sight.
The Dilmun Burial Grounds were built between about 2200 and 1750 BCE. Originally there were tens of thousands of mounds, and the site was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2019. The royal burial mounds preserved in the A'ali village area are the tallest and can be viewed up close. The village also has a traditional pottery workshop where you can watch the craft and buy pottery. The site is open for walking and free to visit. It is about 20 minutes by car from Manama.
