Madha
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
Omani territory of
Madha (
Arabic
: مدحاء) or
Wadi Madha is an
exclave of Oman, surrounded by the
United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is located halfway between the
Musandam Peninsula and the rest of Oman. It forms part of the
Musandam Governorate.
The exclave is on the
Fujairah–
Khor Fakkan road in the
Emirate of Sharjah of the UAE and covers approximately 75 km² (29 sq mi). There are two exits to Madha on the Fujairah–Khorfakkan road. The boundary was settled in 1969.
Madha is mostly empty, with the developed portion, called "New Madha", containing roads, a school, post office, an 'Eid ground, police station, an Omani bank, electricity and water supply, and an airstrip. There is also a
Royal Oman Police patrol.
Inside Madha, there is an exclave of the UAE called
Nahwa, which is legally part of the
Emirate of Sharjah.
