Al Madam is an inland town of the Emirate of Sharjah, the UAE. Located at the intersection of the Dubai-Hatta (E44) and Mleiha-Shwaib (E55) roads, its development has mainly centred around these road links and the road traffic through Hatta to Oman.


A widely held belief behind the abandonment of the village is that place is haunted by a notorious group of “djinns” – the supernatural beings that are said to possess places and people. Locals also believe that there is something mysterious in the sand that caused it to invade the houses, leading the locals to flee the village.

Since it is abandoned and no one has concrete information about what and how it happened, the Al Madam Village is a popular tourist attraction for those with a penchant for unexplained mysteries. The abandoned village is located close to the Al Madam area on the Dubai-Hatta Road (E44). The village is approximately 70 kilometres from both Dubai and Sharjah.
