Dalma island (Arabic: جزيرة دلما) is an Emirati island located in the Persian Gulf, approximately 42 kilometres (26 mi) off the coast of Abu Dhabi. The island is served by the Dalma Airport (IATA: ZDY) and by a mainland ferry. The island has multiple fresh water wells, which made human settlement possible, historically. It had a population of approximately 5,000 in the 2000 census.[1]

History[edit]

The Abu Dhabi Islands Archaeological Survey (ADIAS) carried out an initial archaeological survey of Dalma island in 1992. A total of more than 20 archaeological sites were identified on the island, ranging in time from the Neolithic (Late Stone Age).[2]
