Madha () is an exclave of Oman entirely surrounded by the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Administratively, it is a province (wilayah) belonging to the Musandam Governorate.
The territory is situated halfway between the Musandam Peninsula and the Omani mainland. Notably, Madha contains a counter-enclave (a second-order enclave) called Nahwa, which is an island of territory belonging to the UAE Emirate of Sharjah.
