This abandoned village with its slowly decaying houses of traditional coral-block architecture sits about 20 kilometers south from Ras Al-Khaimah city. Jazirat al-Hamra was fishing and pearling village that was founded in the 16th century. With the demise of the pearling industry and the beginning of the oil boom, the village’s inhabitants abandoned it in the 1960s. Due to the dry desert climate, a lot of the coral-block architecture is well preserved, so visitors can get a real sense of what traditional Emirati village life would have looked like. The village mosque has also been fully restored in recent years. Category: Culture, Heritage Attraction, Nature Book With Us And Book It Out Of Here! For More Info Contact Us On:
