The ghost village in Dubai is also known as Al Madam Ghost Town. It is an abandoned village which is located on the outskirts of Dubai. It is believed that due to some unknown reasons the village has been abandoned. Now all that you remain – are the crumbling structures and half-buried houses. There used to be life there once but now it’s all a ghost of memories. The harsh desert climate and the high steep sand dunes have taken over this place. Now it is just an exploration place for visitors.

The sand-filled homes,

the quiet streets have an air of mystery
and legend around them.

To be exact, it is situated near the town of Al Madam and Al Madam situated along the Dubai-Hatta road. The village is in proximity to Al Ain City.

Al Ain is rich in:

UNESCO World Heritage sites, and
lush greenery in the midst of the desert.

This all makes the Ghost City Tour a good combo with the day trip to Al Ain City tour.

Do You Need to Book a Tour of the Ghost Village?

One of the most common questions that gets asked is whether one needs to book a tour operator for a guided tour or one can go and explore the ghost village on their own.

So we would clarify that it is very well possible to explore the village independently but there are several reasons why booking a guided tour should be preferred.

1. Navigation and Safety: As the village is located in a remote area, it is mostly surrounded by desert land. Without proper guidance, it can be difficult to find the exact location for first-time visitors. So booking a Ghost City Tour in Dubai with a trusted company such as Friends Guide Travel would be recommended. They will ensure that you have an experienced guide who will know the area will be able to provide valuable insights and will keep you safe.

2. Historical Context: You can very well explore the area on your own. But that would not be interesting without knowing the history and the stories behind it. So having a knowledgeable guide who can provide you with a good historical background of the village and explain the architectural features of the village would be far more entertaining and valuable. You will also get to know the local legends that have been passed down over the years to the locals.

3. Comfort and Convenience: If you book a tour, your transportation service will be included. And that alone makes it easier to relax and enjoy the trip without worrying about driving and finding the place. There are a number of operators that offer extra services such as water, snacks, air-conditioned vehicles, and some other tips and amenities that are helpful when you venture into the desert.

4. Exclusive Access: Booking a tool operator also helps you have special access to unique experience is that are not available for Solo travellers. For example: You might not be able or comfortable enough to venture into the village in the evening or sunset. But you can do so if you have booked the ghost village to in the evening all in the early morning.

Can You Explore on Your Own?

So, like me already mentioned you can explode the village on your own. If you are an adventurer and like the thrill of it you can probably make your way to the ghost village. However, what you will need is careful planning. Because the location is remote, you can rent a car and drive there on your own. All the way would recommend that you use of 4 by 4 vehicle due to the Rough terrain of the desert. In addition to this, you need to remember that there are no on-site facilities in the ghost village. So you will need to bring your supplies which will include food, water, and a GPS device.

Exploring independently can give you the flexibility to spend as much time as you like at the village, but you will miss out on the rich stories and context provided by a professional guide. Additionally, without local knowledge, you might not be aware of the best photo spots, safety precautions, or hidden parts of the village.
