Archaeological sites Nizwa And The Western Hajar

Like those of Bat, the tombs of Zukait bear witness to the expansion of an ancient civilization present on Omani territory as early as 3000 BC. Overlooking the village, the site has several cylindrical towers of tightly packed stones without mortar, each pierced by an entrance and topped by a roof composed of flat stones (beehive tombs). The archaeological missions carried out in the immediate vicinity testify to the ancient existence of a vast Hafit-style necropolis, composed of hundreds of burials similar to those of Zukait.
