Ancient city and archaeological site in the UAE
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".
