Al-Nejd

Historical Site

Archaeological site in Oman

Al-Nejd is an archaeological site in Ash Sharqiyah, Oman. It was a fortified village inhabited during the Samad Late Iron Age and possibly during Islamic times. The site was discovered in 2014 following the chance find of a coin by a local resident, and was then confirmed and dated by a team from the Ministry of Heritage and Culture. The site yielded an Abiel tetradrachm, struck in what is now the United Arab Emirates. The coin is on display in the National Museum in Muscat.
