About AlDhaid

ALDhaid is the principal city of the central region of the Emirate of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. Dhaid is characterized by its fertile lands and abundance of palm trees, which are irrigated by water from the nearby Hajar Mountains. Some of this water reaches the area through ancient channels known as 'Aflaj' (singular: Falaj). Dhaid occupies a strategic location at the mouth of the significant Wadi Siji.

AlDhaid is located in the desert plain to the east of the coastal city of Sharjah. A road linking Sharjah with Masafi (located in the Hajar Mountain foothills) divides it into eastern and western parts. To the north of Dhaid is the town of Falaj Al Mualla, a town with fertile lands belonging to the Emirate of Umm Al Quwain. Heading south, one reaches the town of Madam on the Dubai-Hatta road. South of Dhaid, the road connecting Sharjah with Maliha and Kalba passes.

AlDhaid derives its water from seasonal valleys, groundwater sources, and other water resources. It is famous for its extensive palm cultivation and other types of trees and plants.
