Madha is a wholly Omani exclave within UAE. As with other maps, the north east corner of Madha is closest to the Khorfakkan-Fujairah road, which was verified by photographs where you can see the border post just approx 10 meters from the road.

There's also a ROP patrol, with their distinctive uniforms and squad cars. There are two exits to Madha on the Fujairah-Khorfakkan road. At the Northern exit, the border post stands fairly close to the road, enabling a fancy picture.
