Al-Khor Island

Al-Khor Island is thought to have been a Bronze Age way station in the Arabian Gulf used by ancient traders around the late 3rd to early 2nd millennium BC. Seafarers and traders of the day would weigh anchor in this protected port as an overnight safe harbour, or perhaps to repair ships, process fish or prepare charcoal.

Of the island’s four key Bronze Age docking sites known today, the best preserved are the ones at the northwest and southern end of the island.
