Please refer my earlier email #8054 having attached to it a map <br/>
showing internal boundaries of UAE. <br/>
You can see a small parcel belonging to Sharjah at Dibba. Please take <br/>
a look.<br/>
I have heard other stories about the 3 wise men, but they are <br/>
somewhat different and Eastern in origin, not probably acceptable by <br/>
a modern christian. Anyway, that would be a topic not quite belonging <br/>
to this forum!<br/>
Bye,<br/>

&gt; &gt; Another place I would like to visit in the near future is the <br/>
village <br/>
&gt; of Dibba, which you can see on this map (upper right) which is <br/>
&gt; actually divided between 2 emirates, Fujairah and Sharjah, and a <br/>
&gt; third, Oman. I just want to see this place <br/>
&gt; &gt; <br/>
&gt; &gt; Please comment.<br/>

&gt; <br/>
&gt; thanxx for the gifts & the request<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; the fascinating tri sovereign town of dibba or daba <br/>
&gt; possibly unique in the world<br/>
&gt; was first brought to our attention by arif<br/>
&gt; in his 22 dec 00 entry under<br/>
&gt; <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://members.aol.com/marismits/WeirdGeo.htm">http://members.aol.com/marismits/WeirdGeo.htm</a><br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; & tho he dismissed at that time the notion that dibba could be <br/>
&gt; the point of origin of the legendary<br/>
&gt; 3 kings of orient <br/>
&gt; aka the magi or the wise men<br/>
&gt; i have to wonder now upon further reflection <br/>
&gt; whether the also legendary gifts of these potentates<br/>
&gt; namely frankincense & myrrh <br/>
&gt; dont at least tend to pinpoint them somewhere in eastern arabia<br/>
&gt; & thus lend credence to what might otherwise seem a <br/>
&gt; preposterous idea<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; & besides<br/>
&gt; what other town could they have come from<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; so i wonder if there isnt any local tradition there to support this <br/>
&gt; conjecture<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; also when you visit<br/>
&gt; please keep an eye out <br/>
&gt; if you would<br/>
&gt; for the trisovereign points that must occur in that town<br/>
&gt; probably at least 2 in number<br/>
&gt; if i am visualizing the topology of the borders correctly<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; a local detail map would be an enormous boon as well <br/>
&gt; should you be able to find or create one<br/>
&gt; <br/>
