Dhahran Burial Mounds

The Dhahran Burial Mounds (Arabic: مدافن الظهران) is an Arabian archaeological site located in the southern part of Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The site comprises a large settlement dating back to the third millennium BCE, featuring approximately 900 burial mounds. An ancient trade route, which connected the site to the Ain Al-Sayh settlement in the south and likely to a seaport known as Dhahran, runs through the site.
