About Hili, Al Ain

Hili is one of the oldest inhabited regions in the UAE, internationally recognized for its archaeological importance. The village has been a site of excavation since the 1960s and houses structures dating back to the Bronze Age. The archaeological findings are displayed at Al Ain Museum, while the Hili Archaeological Park has become a major cultural destination.

Today, Hili is a residential district that includes a mix of traditional and modern homes. The area offers spacious villas often with private gardens and sometimes swimming pools. Apartments in the area range from 1 to 3 bedrooms and are equipped with modern amenities like gyms and security services. The properties cater to both budget-conscious residents and those seeking luxury living.

The community is family-friendly, with easy access to local amenities such as Hili Mall, Hili School, and healthcare centers. It’s a peaceful environment ideal for retirees, families, and individuals who value a slower pace of life surrounded by cultural heritage.

While modern conveniences are well-integrated, the historical essence of Hili is preserved through its restored forts, towers, and the beautifully maintained oasis. This makes Hili a unique blend of past and present, offering both comfort and cultural richness.
