On of the interesting facts about the ancient times in Dubai is that in primitive days they were using a very amazing method of irrigation,it was known as falaj system, and this method is still used in certain areas.It worked like this, the underground water is distributed by a network of tunnels well laid under water and bringing water into open channels, from where the water flows to the required area.
The Buraimi Oasis (some 130 km southeast Dubai and has 2 towns side by side: Al-Ain on the Emirati side and Buraimi over the border in Oman.) is famed its traditional falaj irrigation system, some dating back to 1000 BC.
