Abandoned Hotspots for Halloween 2024

Buried Ghost Village: Al Madam Sharjah

Ready for a long journey to one of the scariest villages on the outskirts of Dubai? Head to Al Madam on the borders of Sharjah and Oman on the Dubai-Hatta road, which gives you shrills and a burning sensation of sand as you walk above the dunes to see the abandoned house settlements. Built by the government in the 1970s as a part of the government modernisation initiative during the oil spike in the Middle East, numerous horror stories cover the walls of these houses. The early residents of the village have reported stories of ghosts, supernatural occurrences, and djinn activities. Even though the actual reason behind the abandonment of this village remains unknown, many say that the rapid modernisation of the neighbouring villages made the people leave Al Madam. Visit Al Madam this Halloween in Dubai for the complete feel of Spookiness and Horror. Don’t tell us we didn’t warn you that people say they felt eerie while exploring the place.

Al Jazira Al Hamra: Ras Al Khaima

Ruled by the Zaab during their prosperous times, Al Jazira Al Hamra in Ras Al Khaima is known for its pearl fishing business and stands isolated and empty on the brink of the 21st century. Ninety minutes from Dubai, this ghost village was known as the Red Island for its striking sand and bright radiance. Once a flourishing hub of trade and fishing, the village was abruptly deserted in 1968 for numerous reasons. The most popular reason was the rapid shift to Abu Dhabi for wages, while the unspoken reasons were black magic, tribal conflict, and supernatural events. The best time to travel to Al Jazira is during the day, as there can be spooky and eerie experiences during the night.

Al Qassimi Palace

The Al Qassimi Palace stands tall against the blazing sun in Ras Al Khaimah, abandoned and unoccupied for most of its existence. A towering white palace over the top of a hill, Al Qassimi Palace was opened to the public in 2019 after almost 30 years of its foundation. Though an art-loving owner built it, the place has been reported to have numerous haunted activities by people who have worked and been inside the palace. The list is long, for instance, of Children screaming, appearances of faces in the dark and djinn activities. Are you excited about getting the spookiest of the spooky experiences this Halloween? You are in the right blog, as we bring you the ultimate Dubai Halloween Blog.

The tunnel in the Pan Emirates

We head to our next and even more horrifying destination for Halloween 2024, the tunnel in the Pan Emirates. Trigger warning: this is not your cup of tea if you are claustrophobic. While driving from afar, the tunnel looks quite like most other tunnels in the UAE, but as you move closer, trust me, you start to get the eeriness in the air and a sense of creepy breeze accompanying you. Fasten your belt and feel the adrenaline as you explore this Halloween hotspot of 2024. Look around; you never know what you might find inside the tunnel. Trust me, Halloween is no fun without some spookiness in the air. Let the rider in you embrace this Halloween in Dubai to the fullest bash.
