Shis (Arabic: شيص) is the name of a settlement to the East of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates (UAE) which, together with the village of Nahwa, is enclosed by the Omani exclave of Madha. This makes it an exclave of Sharjah that is an enclave within the Omani exclave of Madha.[1]
Previously accessed only by a track leading from the East Coast up a wadi bed (an intermittently dry riverbed), the village is now reached by the first phase[2] of the Daftah–Khor Fakkan road development.[3]
