Faya is a desert ridge in Sharjah holding one of the longest records of human presence in Arabia. It was inscribed in 2025, which is recent enough that most reference material has not caught up.
Wadi Wurayah is a mountain wadi system in Fujairah, inscribed in 2026 under the natural criterion. It is the UAE's first national park and its only natural World Heritage property.
Al Zubarah is Qatar's only World Heritage property. It was one of the Gulf's great pearling and trading towns, and what makes it exceptional is that nothing was built on top of it afterwards.
