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 is an enclave of UAE wholly within Madha called Nahwa, which belongs to Emirate of Sharjah.

Madha is mostly empty, with the developed portion called "New Madha" which has excellent roads, a good school, post office, an 'Eid ground, Police station, an Omani bank, electricity & water supply, even an airstrip.

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.
