About

Bat Necropolis and Towers is a vast Bronze Age funerary and settlement complex in Ad Dhahirah, Oman, set in a palm grove roughly 24 km east of Ibri, with around 100 graves and large circular stone towers up to 20 m across; it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site inscribed in 1988. Visitors explore the monumental stone towers and tomb fields, learn about 3rd-millennium copper-trade links to Sumer, and combine it with Al-Ayn and Al-Khutm.
