Description

The variety of scenery in Sharjah is a major attraction for photographers from all over the world. The beautiful desert of Al Madam attracts visitors, who are impressed by its vastness and charm. On our tour, you will be taken to the heart of the desert to discover the Abandoned Village, also known as the Ghost Town. The village has a small mosque and around 30 houses, the rooms are covered in a cinnamon coloured sand, which gives the village a magical atmosphere. One interesting fact is that it was once inhabited by the people of the Al Kutbi tribe, who are among the three prominent tribes living in the Al Madam area. For some reason the residents packed their bags and left more than a decade ago. Local legend says that it was the nasty “Jinn” that drove people away.
