The Abandoned Village of Al-Ghuraifa, now known as Al Madam Ghost Town
Al Madam Ghost Town
Step back in time and wander through the eerie remnants of Al Madam Ghost Town, nestled among the dunes just an hour’s drive from Dubai’s bustling skyscrapers. This abandoned village, once known as Al-Ghuraifa, was built in the 1970s to house Bedouin tribes but was deserted in the 1990s amidst the rapid urbanisation of the UAE.
