How? edit
How did this peculiar situation come to be? With Madha within the UAE, and then Nahwa within Madha? Is there some historical reason for this - like a treaty? Stallions2010 00:12, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
The whole area near the cost used to be pieces of land that were owned by different tribes. Madha was owned by the Madhani tribe while Nahwa and Khorfakkan were owned by the Qawasim tribe. The previous Sheikh of Madha, Mohammad Salim AlMadhani , had a disagreement with the Qawasim tribe who had a treaty with the Al-Nahyan tribe in Abu-Dhabi. The disagreement may have been over Nahwa. Because of this disagreement he ended up allying the Madhani tribe with the Sultan of Oman at that time. This is the reason for Madha being within the UAE and Nahwa being within Madha.

Empty or unpopulated? edit
Mahda is mostly empty [...]
The adjective "empty" is dubious at best: is it empty of population (i.e, unpopulated), empty of animal life, empty of vegetation, empty of water, or empty of what else? Perhaps it would be better described if it read, for example:
Madha is mostly unpopulated [...]
but this requires confirmation from people actually knowledgeable of the location. Most of the land in Madha is split into farms. Other pieces of land are empty river banks that become full of running water during the rain season which is during the winter. The population is low compared to the whole area but take into consideration the livable areas which are small.
