Al Dhaid is an inland oasis city in the Emirate of Sharjah, located in the central part of the UAE, near the Omani border, about 60 kilometers from Sharjah city. Known as the "Garden of the Emirates" for its fertile agricultural land and rich oasis landscapes, the city is one of the UAE's major suppliers of agricultural products, mainly tropical fruits such as mangoes, lemons and pomegranates, as well as vegetables and dates. With its traditional Emirati culture, ancient fort ruins and mosques, surrounded by palm-dotted oases and a milder climate than the coastal towns, Zidfar is an ideal destination to experience the rural life and traditions of the region.
Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.
