Al Jazirah Al Hamra | The Abandoned Village

Jazirah Al Hamra, located in Ras Al Khaimah, is a well-preserved historic village and the last traditional pearling settlement in the Gulf. Established by the Za’ab tribe, it thrived on pearl diving and trade before being abandoned in the late 1960s. Today, it stands as an open-air museum, offering a glimpse into pre-oil Emirati life with its coral-stone houses, mosques, and watchtowers.
