About

The Madha and Nahwa double enclave in Musandam, Oman, is one of only two counter-enclaves on Earth: the Omani enclave of Madha sits inside the UAE and itself surrounds the Sharjah enclave of Nahwa. Visitors drive the 'Russian doll' borders, spot the flag and signage changes and visit Wadi Madha.
