I think as patriot said you're talkin about the A'ali burial mounds. Some trivia for you:
A’ali Burial Mounds
There are approximately 170,000 burial mounds in Bahrain, the majority dating back to the second and third centuries BC but with some as recent as 2000 years old. Bahrain is considered to be the site of the largest prehistoric cemetery in the world, and the sheer number of burial mounds has led archaeologists to speculate that inhabitants of the Arabian mainland used the island as a pre-historic burial ground. The oldest and largest burial mounds, referred to as the “Royal Tombs”, are found at A’ali and measure up to 15 metres in height and 45 metres in diameter.
Not sure how many are left now as many have been grazed for housing but there many left.
