5 World Heritage Sites in UAE

The phrase UAE conjures up a variety of images in our imaginations. Before burgeoning villages, homes that reach the clouds, expansive beaches, and oil affluence, our reflections must come first. However, the Emirati country, which is not as well-known as its worldly marvels, has another hand. The emirates visa is mandatory to visit the UAE. 

This lovely region has a rich history that predates oil extraction and the current wave of urbanization. There are historical landmarks in the UAE that have withstood the test of time and kept their illustrious past and culture.

Following are the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in UAE:-

1. Al-Ain Oasis

Nothing less than a wonder of the cosmos can be said about Al-Ain Oasis. As you enter this beautiful date grove, you may sound as though you have hiked deep into a tropical forest. The towering palm palms and their enormously intertwined branches weave lovely domes.

More than 147,000 date palm plants are fed by the 3,000-acre oasis. According to various UAE myths, Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al-Nahyan, who founded the UAE, was born in this oasis in the shade of those imposing palm trees.

In the center of the Rub al Khali desert, there is a 4,000-year-old town known as the Al Ain Oasis which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With a surface area of 1,200 hectares, it is the largest oasis in the nation and one of many in Al Ain that the UN Food and Agricultural Organization has cited for the value of its ecosystems and cultural heritage.

2. Hili Archaeological Park

Just 15 kilometers outside of Al Ain, you can find another UAE historic monument in the form of a sizable archaeological site. The Hili Archaeological Garden site combines a public garden with an archaeological site. The Bronze Age, which lasted from 2500 BCE to 2000 BCE, is when this location first became inhabited. 

The tomb features two entrances and engravings of both people and animals. In the UAE, there is evidence of agricultural activity dating back 5,000 years, including significant prehistoric communities, in Hili Archaeological Park. One of the UAE's UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Hili Archaeological Park, is a kid-friendly area with trees, waterfalls, and a small play area.

The archaeological site includes ancient settlements, tombs, the artificial water channel Falaj, which dates back to the Iron Age, and many other structures. The Great Tomb is a sturdy 12-meter-diameter tower within the site, which is thought to represent Umm al-cemetery. Nar's 

3. Khor Dubai

Khor Dubai, also known as Dubai Creek, is another important site for UAE heritage. It divides Bur Dubai from Deira via a natural seawater entrance into the Arabian Sea. The Ed-Dur Site, which views out over Al Beidha Bay, has been cultivated by a number of cultures, including Obeid, the Bronze Age, Stone Age, Iron Age, and Pre-Islamic eras.

The oldest house of worship in the United Arab Emirates is the Al Bidya Mosque, which was built in 1446 and continues to act as a spiritual hub today. Khor Dubai is one of the United Arab Emirates' tentative UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Deira and Bur Dubai are separated by a 14 km natural ocean water entrance from the Arabian Gulf.

Khor Dubai divides Dubai into the two neighborhoods of Deira and Bur Dubai. Dubai is significant to the regional economy. Khor Dubai and its surrounding communities are well renowned as a location of major cultural and commercial exchange. The Sabkha in Abu Dhabi is a magnificent salt flat that is home to numerous little shoals, beaches, streams, safe lagoons, and sediments, as well as an inner region of intertidal flats.

The list keeps on because the UAE has a vast and rich history. The Emirati nation continues to preserve the remains of a beautiful history in secret locations, and it will reveal its treasure trove to those who adhere to the original purpose of travel. The customary wind-tower homes on the creek's banks also exhibit a distinctive architectural tradition. Khor Dubai is a strong candidate to be considered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to all of these factors.

4. Sharjah, the Gate to the Trucial States

The Gate to the Trucial States in Sharjah also serves as a gateway to the past. The Sharjah administration has made great efforts to preserve the region's historic structures. 

It includes the historic air station, the harbor, and the residences that are now home to the Mahratta Museum. The Emirate, in contrast, has a strong Antiquities and Heritage Act that protects historic sites, which increases its appeal as a potential UNESCO World Heritage site.

Ancient writers and travelers, such as the 11th-century geographer Al Edrissy, reference Sharjah in their writings. It served as both the main center of the pearl trade and the entrance to the Trucial States. The community serves as a model for new urban growth in older towns.

5. Jebel Hafeet Tombs

Since all of the Emirati Bronze Age artifacts have been preserved, the Jebel Hafeet Tombs and the Hili Archaeological Park are nearly identical. The site, which still held remnants of a 5000-year-old past, could be found at the base of Jebel Hafeet Peak. The Jebel Hafeet graves in the city indicate the beginning of the Bronze Age, and the decorative vessels and copper artifacts discovered there point to the existence of a thriving civilization.

Many more sites in the UAE are awaiting designation as "world heritage sites." Any of the renowned future heritage sites including The Umm an-Nar Island town and cemetery, which is close to Abu Dhabi, is proof of the Emiratis' visionary desire to establish a Bronze Age society. Sir Bu Nair Island is a Neoproterozoic salt deposit island, as the name implies.

Despite having a beehive shape, the Jebel Hafeet Tombs, which signal the start of the Bronze Age in the UAE, are highly distinctive. Although the site is locked, it is still possible to see Jebel Hafeet Mountain's canyons.

Conclusion

Like the majority of other Arab nations, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has witnessed the growth of human civilization over a period of several thousand years with emirates visa online. The UAE is made up of a dry desert with some peculiar geological features, historical landmarks, and magnificent buildings from antiquity. These regions of the planet that appear to be desolate have many secrets. Visitors will have an amazing time exploring the aforementioned historical sites and world heritage sites. You will be able to recognize and admire the magnificence of the nation's culture despite its numerous hardships by applying for an emirates visa UK.

When a young clan hears of the Hearth, it is likely from word of mouth, if at all. When an established clan hears of the Hearth, it is assuredly from Beidha. The caretaker of the few ties the Hearth maintains, and cultivator of the even fewer new ties, Beidha takes care in securing the Hearth’s security from without. Great care.

Little Petra, Jordan, 674 by tango- Little Petra (Arabic: البتراء الصغيرة‎, al-batrā aṣ-ṣaġïra), also known as Siq al-Barid (Arabic: سيق البريد‎, literally "the cold canyon") is an archaeological site located north of Petra and the town of Wadi Musa in the Ma'an Governorate of Jordan. Like Petra, it is a Nabataean site, with buildings carved into the walls of the sandstone canyons. As its name suggests, it is much smaller, consisting of three wider open areas connected by a 450-metre (1,480 ft) canyon. It is part of the Petra Archeological Park, though accessed separately, and included in Petra's inscription as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.. Like Petra, it was probably built during the height of Nabataean influence during the 1st century C.E. While the purpose of some of the buildings is not clear, archaeologists believe that the whole complex was a suburb of Petra, the Nabatean capital, meant to house visiting traders on the Silk Road. After the decline of the Nabataeans, it fell vacant, used only by Bedouin nomads, for centuries. Along with neighboring Beidha, Little Petra was excavated in the later 20th century by Diana Kirkbride and Brian Byrd. In 2010, a biclinium, or dining room, in one of the caves was discovered to have surviving interior art depicting grapes, vines and putti in great detail with a varied palette, probably in homage to the Greek god Dionysus and the consumption of wine. The 2,000-year-old ceiling frescoes in the Hellenistic style have since been restored. While they are not only the only known example of interior Nabataean figurative painting in situ, they are a very rare large-scale example of Hellenistic painting, considered superior even to similar later Roman paintings at Herculaneum. https://flic.kr/p/2kB1QvD

Note to self/to-do list when I have the time to sit out and write a lot of tl;dr:

That Nuclear Physics for Dummies thing/guide for SU fanfic authors because metamictization is a real thing and I am disappointed it doesn’t get used more.

Civilizations active before and at the time of the Rebellion, why saying that humans can’t have provided much resistance is insulting, and why yeah PD might actually be having problems destroying the cities. Including such irritations as:

Catalhoyuk (7500 BCE-5700 BCE) and its complete lack of streets or paths or urban planning (entrances were placed on rooftops), which would have left gems having to brute-force destroy complexes they probably couldn’t fully understand.

Earth-sheltered Prehistoric Scottish settlements; see: Skara Brae (3180 BCE-2500 BCE), Knap of Howar (3700 BCE-2800 BCE). Unless you know where to look, they’d have been easily overlooked. 

Actual, legitimate cities existed and I don’t know why some fans make an issue of how primitive people were. Talianki, Nebelivka, Eridu, Uruk, Tell Brak, Susa, Memphis, Abydos, Beidha, Jericho. And what about monuments that don’t easily fit the common definition of cities? Nubian rock-cut structures, Gobekli Tepe, Watson Brake, Amazonian geoglyphs we’ve only discovered recently? Hell, Amazonian forest gardening that has been happening for 11,000+ years? And what about structures that might have rotted away because wood and straw decompose quickly? Or cultures that maintain the practice of destroying their own previous structures because of social taboos and norms?

What about the incredible likelihood that alien colonization would have accelerated human development? You’d probably get the underground cities of Cappodocia developing a few thousand years earlier due to the need to avoid being kidnapped by space aliens, the human need to band together and organize against a stronger foe, and so on.

Anyway, miss me with the whole idea that humanity would have been helpless against gemkind. Yeah, there’s a vast difference in technology, but humans have always been bright and highly adaptable.

I will fight you on this. I will make a spear myself, I will break apart stone to create a cutting surface, I will use ancient technology that has been around since before modern humans existed to demonstrate that a sharp stick is all one needs against a bigger foe.

Sadie took down a corrupted gem with nothing but a sharp stick.

Not gonna lie, I kinda want to write a history of human resistance to alien occupation, but that would involve figuring out names in long-dead languages that might never have had written form.

Little Petra

little Petra Location:10 Min Away from Petra, Jordan.

Names: Al-Beidha.

Description: It’s a small copy of the main site.

Usage: agricultural center, trading suburb and resupply post for camel caravans visiting the rose city.

Al- Beidha

You May Have heard about the most famous archaeological site in Jordan Which is Called Petra (The rose city).

but the thing that you may don’t know about that there is a small copy of the huge Petra called a little Petra(Al – Beida).

it’s 10 minutes far away from the huge Petra

It’s one of the first settled villages in human history.  Founded between 7200BC to 6500BC,

The settlement burned down and rebuild around that time.

it inhabited for a short while before it abandoned.

The Retaining wall and houses are still visible today.

The site includes tombs, temples, water channels, and cisterns carved out of the rock as well as the remains of frescoes on plaster.

many religious activities were held, including the Feast of Drink, when the king of the Nabataeans hosted celebrations,

and provide drinks for his guests.

There is also a cave with the remains of a fresco painted by the Nabataeans that represented grapevines, which confirmed the view that (Al-Beidha)  the area of wine production.

FAQ About Al-Beidha

Q1: Why it called Little Petra?

Because of the similarity with the main site Petra  It is thought to have been an important suburb of Petra and is entered through a narrow opening, similar to Siq but of a much smaller scale.

Q2: is Little Petra worth to visit?

yes, sure it’s worth to visit because many reasons.

1. Free Entrance

Unlike Petra which has a very expensive ticket ( 50JD/ approximately £56 for 1 day!) Al- beidha  is completely free, having or not a Jordan Pass

2. It has a Relaxed Vibe and no crowd.

The tourists visiting Little Petra are enormously less so this can affect the entire experience to some extent as well. A relaxing atmosphere and a “time hasn’t affected this historical place” vibe is way more possible to be experienced

3. You can interact with Bedouins on a more personal level

This is totally understandable and expected. Over half of a million tourists visit the rose city every year and just a few of them actually pay a visit to al beidha! So the local sellers/ Bedouins around little Petra have much more time to talk to you/ answer questions/help you etc IF they want it to. Don’t be surprised if you might be offered tea in someone’s cave

Q3: Is Al-Beidha Entrance fee Included In Jordan Pass?

its completely free no entrance fee needed.

Siq al-Barid  (”Little Petra”)

Jordan

1st century CE

Archaeologists believe that Little Petra was established in the 1st century CE when the Nabataean culture was at its peak in the region. It was probably a suburb of the larger city to the south, perhaps where its more successful merchants lived, and entertained their visiting counterparts. The location may have been chosen because of the nearby older settlement of Beidha, inhabited since the earlier Neolithic era.

Tecnología

El desarrollo de la tecnología en Mesopotamia estuvo condicionado en muchos aspectos a los avances en el dominio del fuego, conseguidos mediante la mejora de la capacidad térmica de los hornos, con los cuales era posible conseguir yeso (a partir de los 300 °C), y cal (a partir de los 800 °C). Con estos materiales se podían recubrir recipientes de madera lo que permitía ponerlos al fuego directo, una técnica predecesora de la cerámica a la que se ha llamado «vajilla blanca».

Los inicios de esa técnica se han encontrado en Beidha, al sur de Canaán, y datan del IX milenio a. C. aproximadamente; desde los milenios posteriores se extiende hacia el norte y al resto del Próximo Oriente, cubriéndolo por completo entre 5600 y 3600 a. C.

Siq al-Barid es conocida coloquialmente como Pequeña Petra. Se pensó que había servido como un centro agrícola, el comercio  y reabastecimiento para las caravanas de camellos que visitaban Petra a través de la carretera del Rey. Desde el entrada, un camino obvio conduce a los 400 metros de largo Siq (o cañón estrecho), que se abre en áreas más grandes. La primera zona abierta, cerca de la entrada, tiene un templo arriba, que los arqueólogos saben poco. Unas cuantas cosas son notables, las columnas y sus tapas no son egipcio, griego o romano. Este parece ser el estilo arquitectónico original de los Nabateos. Pequeña Petra es un sitio arqueológico localizado algunos kilómetros al norte de Petra y la ciudad de Wadi Musa en la gobernación de Ma’an de Jordania.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Al igual que Petra, es un sitio nabateo, con edificios tallados en las paredes de los cañones de piedra arenisca. Como su nombre indica, es mucho más pequeño, consistente en tres áreas abiertas más anchas conectadas por un barranco.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Se entra por un estrecho desfile de 350 m de largo, conocido con el nombre de “cañon frío” (Siq Al – Barid) debido a las altas paredes que impiden la luz solar. Este paso desemboca a continuación en una serie de los espacios más amplios. El primero alberga un templo. El segundo incluye cuatro tricliniums. Un poco más a la izquierda, una escalera lleva a la Casa pintada, uno de los raros interiores nabateos pintados que sobrevivió a la época.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Enfrente del templo hay algunas cuevas, quizás utilizadas como comedores para viajeros hambrientos. El color pálido de las rocas en esta área da el nombre de Al Beidha, que significa “el blanco”. A unos cientos de metros del Siq Barid se encuentra un pueblo neolítico, que data del año 7000 aC. Alrededor de sesenta casas han sido excavadas. La zona es ideal para practicar senderismo, acampar y montar a caballo.

El cañón se ensancha después de 400 metros (1.300 pies). En esta área abierta, muchas de las paredes de piedra arenisca tienen aberturas talladas en ellas; fueron utilizados como viviendas. En la cara sur hay un triclinium con columnatas y un pórtico abovedado que los arqueólogos creen que se usó como templo, aunque saben muy poco sobre él.

Cuando el viajero suizo Jacob Burckhardt se convirtió en el primer visitante occidental de Petra desde la época de los romanos en 1812, no se aventuró hacia el norte ni escribió sobre él. Más tarde, los visitantes occidentales de la región parecen haberse concentrado en el sitio principal de Petra.

Sólo a fines de la década de 1950 la arqueóloga británica Diana Kirkbride complementó sus excavaciones en Petra con excavaciones en el área de Beidha, que incluía Little Petra, que no se describía como un sitio separado en ese momento. Esas excavaciones continuaron hasta 1983, dos años antes de que la UNESCO inscribiera el área de Petra, incluyendo Beidha y Little Petra, como Patrimonio de la Humanidad.

Bir Al-Arayis es originalmente una Cisterna nabatea que consta de tres cámaras consecutivas que se abren entre sí, con un almacenamiento de agua total de 1,2 millones de litros.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Una escalera de roca conduce desde la entrada de la cisterna hasta su piso, que está a 6 o 7 metros por debajo del nivel de entrada. Las paredes interiores aún conservan parte de la gruesa capa de yeso que se encuentra comúnmente en las cisternas y represas nabateas. La Cisterna fue restaurada en los tiempos modernos para servir a la comunidad de al Baida.

En 2010, los arqueólogos hicieron público un descubrimiento de la década de 1980. En una de las pequeñas biclinias en el área abierta occidental, un fresco del techo casi intacto había sido ocultado en su mayoría por años de hollín de fogatas y graffiti beduinos. Los restauradores del Courtauld Institute of Art de Londres fueron contratados en 2007; la existencia de las pinturas se anunció una vez que su trabajo se completó. El área ha sido abierta desde entonces para turistas visitantes; se lo conoce coloquialmente como la Casa Pintada. Los frescos representan, con considerable detalle, imágenes relacionadas con el consumo de vino, posiblemente reflejando la adoración de Dionisio, el dios griego del vino. Usan una variedad de pinturas y materiales, incluyendo hojas de oro y esmaltes translúcidos. Se han identificado tres especies de uvas en ellas, junto con dos aves (una grulla demoiselle y un pajarito palestino). Otros elementos incluyen putti tocar la flauta y luchar contra las aves. “La gran calidad de la pintura es mágica”, dijo Lisa Sherkede, una de las restauradoras de Courtauld. Aunque queda mucha arquitectura y escultura nabatea, la pintura nabatea es muy rara en la actualidad. El experto de Courtauld, David Park, dice que los frescos de Little Petra son, de hecho, “la única pintura mural sobreviviente in situ [Nabataea]”.

En un pequeño rincón de Siq al-Barid, un beduino mayor tocaba el tradicional Rebab de cuerda única con una proa de crin. Aunque existen muchas variaciones, el rebab consiste en un cuerpo pequeño, usualmente redondeado, cuyo frente está cubierto por una membrana como pergamino o piel de oveja. Hay un cuello largo y delgado con un clavijero en el extremo y hay una, dos o tres cuerdas. No hay diapasón El instrumento se mantiene en posición vertical, ya sea descansando en el regazo o en el piso. El rebab se convirtió en un instrumento favorito del imperio otomano (turco), y se podía escuchar en todas partes desde el palacio hasta la casa de té. La orquesta o grupo árabe usa muchos drones, unisons y octavas paralelas, produciendo un sonido conmovedor y potente, pero es principalmente modal con poco movimiento de cordal. El rebab, aunque valorado por su tono de voz, tiene un rango muy limitado (poco más de una octava), y fue reemplazado gradualmente en gran parte del mundo árabe por el violín y kemanche.
