Falaj is a local word for
an underground irrigation system. The city of Al Ain is
famous in this system which goes back to 3000 years ago
at least. The most recent discovery in this respect is an
old falaj located in the city adjacent to the main university
building from the south. A mosque associated to the falaj
was also discovered. Excavations are still going on and
a tentative date in the 9th-10th century AD has been given.
