Dibba is a coastal town at the northeastern tip of the UAE/Oman peninsula on the Gulf of Oman. Dibba consists of three villages:

  • Dibba Bayah, ruled by the Sultanate of Oman
  • Dibba Muhallab, ruled by the Emirate of Fujairah
  • Hisn Dibba, ruled by the Emirate of Sharjah

Dibba was the site of the Ridda War, or War of Apostasy c. 633 AD. The plains of Dibba contain a large cemetery which, according to tradition, represents the defeated apostates of Dibba killed by the caliph Abu Bakr.
