Hill and archaeological site in the UAE
Jebel Faya is an archaeological site and limestone hill or escarpment near Mleiha, located in the central region of the Emirate of Sharjah in the UAE. It is considered the largest central mountain within a group of surrounding hills, including Jebel Mleiha to the northwest, Jebel Emailah to the east, and Jebel Aqabah and Jebel Buhais to the southwest. This group of mountains is known as the "Faya Mountain Range." Jebel Faya contains several very important archaeological sites, including FAY-NE 1, which dates to the Palaeolithic period and Wadi al-Kohof, which comprises the archaeological sites FAY-NE 10 and FAY-NE 15, dating to the Neolithic period.
