With roots in the 16th century, this deliciously spooky ghost town is one of the oldest and best preserved coastal villages in the UAE. Its people subsisted mostly on fishing and pearling until they suddenly picked up and left in 1968. To get there, turn off Hwy E11 opposite Majan Printing and drive towards Al Hamra Village. Turn right at the roundabout and right again, then take the dirt road immediately on your left and drive for about 1km.
Although the village is officially closed, you're free to peek through the fence at the remains of coral stone houses, wind towers, mosques, schools and shops.
