Far from the glitz and glam of the country’s skyscrapers, the Al Madam abandoned house has been taken over by sand and nature’s forces over the years. 

No one really knows who owns the villas or what actually happened to them, but it is known that the villas are part of the ghost town of Al Madam, which make it all the more worthwhile for an adrenaline-filled visit.
