About

It was a coastal city from 200 BCE to the 3rd century CE. The site, along and to the right of the Sharjah/Ras-al-Khaimah highway, has been excavated and many interesting artifacts put on display at the UAQ museum.

Ed Dur, also known as Al Dour and Ad Dour is an ancient Near Eastern city, today located in Umm Al Quwain, United Arab Emirates. One of the largest archaeological sites in the emirates, comprising an area of some 5 km2 (1.9 sq mi), the coastal settlement overlooks Al Beidha Lake. One of the most important archaeological finds in the UAE, and closely associated with the inland trading centre of Mleiha, Ed Dur has been dubbed "one of the most significant lost cities of Arabia".
