I did not see any visible borders between Fujairah and Sharjah. At <br/>
least, not like the one I had posted earlier between Dubai & Sharjah. <br/>
I had gone there specifically looking for Madha and I was also trying <br/>
to find any border markers for Sharjah, but couldn&#39;t find any. I <br/>
tried looking at the signboards of businesses along the side of the <br/>
road, looking for the point where the address would change from <br/>
Fujairah to Sharjah, but couldn&#39;t detect any change upto the Madha <br/>
road junction.(Maybe I was inattentive to this internal border as <br/>
compared to that with Madha!) <br/>
<br/>
On the way from Sharjah, though, we come to a place called Masafi, <br/>
which is in Ras Al Khaimah, but is on the border with Fujairah and a <br/>
fairly large roundabout marks the border. Again, no ground border <br/>
indicators present.<br/>
<br/>
You are right. Hatta is also called &quot;Hadjarain&quot;. There&#39;s a Wadi Hatta <br/>
flowing through Hatta.<br/>
<br/>
Have heard that Sharjah has taken the initiative in demarcating its <br/>
internal borders. Can anybody throw some light on this?<br/>
<br/>
If you see the internal boundaries&#39; map, Sharjah is the only emirate <br/>
that touches all other emirates as well as Oman (Oman, Madha & <br/>
Musandam) It seems Sharjah is a crucial &#39;binding agent&#39; in an <br/>
otherwise fragmented Northern Emirates! <br/>
<br/>
And Lastly- my apologies to the Purists! Sorry for my &#39;Non Boundary&#39; <br/>
observations. <br/>

&gt;   No<br/>
&gt;   Hatta is Dubai&#39;s only exclave and I know of no other. <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; I&#39;ve heard of some Dubai territory called Hadjarain (or possibly <br/>
 </span></blockquote>Najarain), could this be the same as Hatta?<br/>

&gt; If I understand it right, Khor Fakkan is in the Emirate of Sharjah, <br/>

and Emirate of Fujeirah is between the Madha exclave and Indian <br/>
Ocean. Did you see any bordermarks at this boundary? (Not the Madha <br/>
exclave!)<br/>
