Madha, Territorial enclave in United Arab Emirates, Oman

Madha covers 75 square kilometers of land surrounded by the United Arab Emirates territory between the Musandam Peninsula and mainland Oman.

The territorial boundaries of Madha were established in 1969 after local village elders chose allegiance to the Sultanate of Oman in the 1930s.

The Madha House Museum displays ancient artifacts, coins, and historical documents that date back to pre-Christian periods of the region.

The region maintains free movement without border controls between Madha and the surrounding United Arab Emirates, making travel seamless for residents.

Within Madha lies Nahwa, a counter-enclave belonging to the United Arab Emirates, creating a territorial formation of an enclave within an enclave.
