Qattara Oasis (Arabic: وَاحَـة الْـقَـطَّـارَة, romanized: Wāḥat al-Qaṭṭārah) is an area of irrigated date farm in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates featuring a distinctive falaj (Arabic: فَـلَـج) irrigation system as well as a late Bronze Age archaeological site dated to 1800–1500 BCE.[1] The oasis has been extensively surveyed by students from Al Ain University since 2015,[2] and is home to 19 buildings of varying antiquity, of which nine are mosques. Among these are thought to be some of the oldest buildings still standing in Al Ain.[3]
