Since 2017, the French Archaeological Mission in Bahrain is exploring the Tylos civilization in Bahrain, which developed about 2000 years after Dilmun. A major necropolis of this period is presently on study at Abu Saiba, where more than 40 impressive built graves have been identified up to now, and about 20 carefully excavated by the French archaeologists and a bio-anthropologist. Antique looting is important, but these graves reveal unusual aspects of Bahrain’s ancient life.
The tour’s gathering point will be in front of the site. Coming from Manama, take Budaiyah highway and turn left at the Janussan roundabout. The site is situated alongside Road 54, c. 450m on the left. Parking spaces available on empty lands immediately before the site.
