Ghost Village, Dubai

Nestled between the borders of Sharjah and Oman, the Al Madam Village is known as the ‘Ghost Village’ of the UAE. Sand dunes pile over the vacant homes of this abandoned town, cracked walls and peeling wallpapers serve as an eerie backdrop to the life its residents left behind. Some say it was abandoned because of supernatural occurrences, others blame modernisation… Whatever the real reason may be, the Al Madam Village has become a hotspot for thrill-seekers and a burgeoning cultural destination.
