Al Madam (Arabic: ٱلْمَدَام) is an inland town of the Emirate of Sharjah, the UAE. Located at the intersection of the Dubai-Hatta (E44) and Mleiha-Shwaib (E55) roads, its development has mainly centred around these road links and the road traffic through Hatta to Oman. The volume of traffic to Oman through Madam and Hatta has lessened since the closure of the 'soft' Omani border at Mahda in 2016,[2] although traffic volumes remain at some 5,000 travellers daily.[3] The road from Madam to Hatta is now only open to UAE or Omani nationals and permit holders.[2]
