My Friends,
In the guidebook, the abandoned Jazirat Al Hamra Fishing Village is categorized as a “neighborhood….”
“….For an authentic glimpse of the pre-oil era, poke around this deliciously spooky ghost town, one of the oldest and best preserved coastal villages in the UAE.”
“First settled in the 14th Century, its people subsisted mostly on fishing and pearling until they suddenly picked up and left in 1968.”*
Cautiously I make my way up and around the rocky paths amid the cluttered ruins of homes, schools, shops, mosques and towers.
