Saar archaeological site

Here we are at the Dilmun era temple and settlement in Saar. It was ancient and fascinating, but unfortunately, there wasn't a lot of good signage to explain it all. I talked to a woman who worked on the administrative side of the dig years ago, she is going to let me borrow a book about it and maybe I'll have more information then. She said much of what they excavated has been covered again by blowing sand. I think the highlight for the kids were the three toilet paper commercial cute puppies that followed us around the site. But I'm happy to report we were able to leave without a new pet!
