    Al Jazirah Al Hamra

    Ras Al KhaimahUnited Arab Emirates14th century–1968

    Al Jazirah Al Hamra, known locally as the Ghost Town of Ras Al Khaimah, is the most famous abandoned coastal pearling village in the United Arab Emirates. Deserted en masse during the late 1960s as oil revenues transformed the nation, its coral-stone houses, narrow alleys, and wind-tower fort stand frozen in time. Local folklore insists that the vacant settlement is inhabited by jinn, whose disembodied voices and shadowy presences warn visitors away after nightfall.

    The Old Al Qasimi Hospital in Ras Al Khaimah, not to be confused with modern active medical centers bearing similar names, is a long-abandoned medical facility that has become legendary in UAE paranormal folklore. Constructed in the 1980s and abandoned after relatively brief service, the multi-storey ruined structure became the subject of chilling stories involving phantom nurses, medical equipment operating on dead circuits, and territorial jinn.

    Al Qasimi Palace

    Ras Al KhaimahUnited Arab Emirates1985

    Al Qasimi Palace, also known as Al Qassimi Palace or the Haunted Palace of Ras Al Khaimah, is a legendary 4-storey mansion built in 1985 at an exorbitant cost. Commissioned by Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Humaid Al Qasimi, the palace was abruptly abandoned by the royal family after allegedly staying only a single night. Left desolate for over three decades, the opulent estate became the center of chilling urban legends involving moving furniture, ghostly children peering from stained-glass windows, and territorial jinn.
