Historical places in Dalma

 

The old Stone Age represents the period between (6000 - 3500). It represents the first sign of settlements in the United Arab Emirates. The settlements consisted from Bedouin groups who lived on hunting and collection of the vegetation. And there are some groups that settled on the shorelines and deep in the islands. There are evidence that there was sea trade in slaves, which took place between the inhabitance of Dalma and the nations between the two rivers in Iraq.
