Falaj Clean Up & Restoration

Volunteer to clean up in the Masfout area of Ajman while working alongside experts to restore a traditional irrigation system.

Falaj represents a tangible link to the past and acts as a symbol of cultural heritage for the communities that have preserved and utilized this ancient system for generations. It serves as a reminder of the ingenuity of their ancestors and their ability to adapt to challenging environmental conditions. Falaj holds great cultural value as a living testament to the resourcefulness and resilience of communities in arid regions. Its preservation and continuation not only help sustain agriculture and water supply but also contribute to the preservation of local cultures and traditions.

Al Waraa Falaj is situated in the village of Masfout which is part of the Emirate of Ajman. It is nestled in the Hajar Mountains, providing stunning natural landscapes and a cooler climate compared to the coastal areas. The area is known for its traditional falaj irrigation system, which dates back many centuries. The falaj system consists of a network of channels that bring water from natural springs to irrigate agricultural lands. Visitors can witness and learn about this ancient water management system while exploring the area. Restoring falaj sites for cultural heritage is a significant effort to preserve and promote the traditional irrigation systems that have historical and cultural importance in the region. Al Waraa Falaj provides excellent opportunities for eco-tourism to witness the cultural experiences of the village.
