The Great Hili Tomb is circular in shape and was constructed from dressed stone blocks. It stands 4 metres high and is considered one of the largest tombs discovered in the UAE in terms of the size of the stones used in its construction. The tomb measures approximately 12 metres in diameter and is divided internally into four chambers used for burials at different periods during the second half of the third millennium BCE. Access was provided through two entrances on the northern and southern sides, each sealed with movable stones that could be removed whenever entry or exit was required. The northern entrance is decorated with several relief scenes, including two embracing figures, possibly symbolising fertility, and another scene depicting a person riding an animal, with a second person standing behind carrying a stick. Beneath the entrance is a scene showing two large animals facing each other as they prey on another animal positioned between them. Above the southern entrance is another relief depicting two animals, possibly Arabian oryx, with two human figures standing between them.
