Annex 3. Wadi Madha The settlement of the frontiers here has, fortunately proved comparatively easy, apart from the difficulty of access. I have left with Your Highness copies of the proposed definitions of the different stretches of this frontier (in English and Arabic) which are now all accepted by the three Trucial Rulers concerned. For ease of reference I reproduce these descriptions here: - (a) The Frontier with Fujairah From Sidr al Qais, roughly one mile west of Qidfa, the frontier shall run south, leaving Jaradiyah well and the surrounding plain as a neutral area in which both parties have equal rights, to Jabal Habalah in the plain mid-way between Qidfa and Madha, which is divided equally between the two sides. Thence the line shall follow the watershed running south-west, leaving Tawi Garat and Sih Garat to Fujairah, to Jebel Tawi bint Rashid, approximately one mile south of Ghunah. From there the line continues along the watershed, leaving Wadi Mayamt and Wadi Half and all their tributaries to Madha and Wadis Thayb and Safad, with all their tributaries, to Fujairah, to Jebel Half and onwards to Nejd al Tajir, which belongs to Fujairah. (b) The Frontier with Ras al Khaimah From Nejd al Tajir, which marks the limit of the frontier netween Madha and Fujairah, the line follows the watershed to Najd al Taiyyah, leaving Wadi Marair and its tributaries to Ras al Khaimah and Wadi Hasanah and its tributaries to adha. From there the line continues to Kharr al Najm in Wadi Hasanah, which is the southern limit of Sharjah territory. (c) The Frontier with Sharjah From Kharr al Najm in Wadi Hasanah the line runs through Ras Salwa to Ras Hattatah above Wadi Shis, crossing that wadi at Ghubbat al Sallum. Thence the line runs north along the summits of the mountains, leaving Shis and Wadi Shis and all its tributaries to Sharjah and Wadis Bada' and Haurah and all their tributaries to Madha. Thence the line follows the mountain ridge, through Jebel Aswad, Mardamt, Al Kharais and Jebel al Alam, to the south of Al Awainat, leaving Sih Lahfah (which is part of Sih al Khor) and the wadis feeding it to Khor Fakkan. The area of Jaradiyah, including the plain and the well, shall be a neutral zone in which all parties have equal rights. The village of Nahwa and its immediate surroundings, as defined below, although situated in the Wadi Madha, are regarded as Qawasim territory. The limits of the Nahwa enclave are as follows: in the west to Rafsat abu Haqab, immediately above the Wadi Madha, between Nahwa and Hajar, and in the east the /Sha'abat
