Dark Millennium (United Arab Emirates)

The Dark Millennium in the United Arab Emirates refers to the period between 4000 BCE and 3200 BCE, which sits between its Bifacial Neolithic era and the emergence of the Bronze Age Hafit period.

Its name is derived from the abandonment of the west coast of Southeastern Arabia at the time due to harsh aridity and desertification, a period in which the archaeological record of human habitation and activity to the west of the Hajar Mountains goes notably 'dark'.
