In the northern hills of Lebanon, tucked between the tranquil slopes near the monastery of Deir Gherbta, lies a place that seems to have slipped through the cracks of time ,a village so obscure that maps hesitate to name it, and locals speak of it only in hushed tones.

Nestled deep within Ras Al Khaimah, near the quiet shores of the Arabian Gulf, lies a deserted village cloaked in the scent of memory. It does not speak but it whispers. Whispers of fishermen who once thrived here, of footsteps echoing at night with no one in sight, of shadows moving when nothing should.

Along the misty Atlantic shores of Morocco, where the Oum Er-Rbia river meets the ocean, stands the ancient city of Azemmour, a city that seems to know your presence the moment you enter its winding alleys, yet refuses to reveal all of its secrets.

In the quiet Sri Lanka Street in Zamalek , Cairo’s historic and aristocratic district , old villas hide behind the leafy canopy of lebbakh trees. Among them stands one of the city's most enigmatic and whispered-about houses: the Abu Auf family villa.
From the outside, it looks like a classic remnant of Cairo's golden age. But inside, it tells a very different story — a tale of music, ghosts, and a name that echoes through the walls: Cicurel.

Tucked away in the quiet streets of Garden City , once Cairo’s most elite neighborhood, now faded and melancholic, lies an apartment whose walls still guard secrets that puzzle anyone who dares to step too close: the final home of Egyptian music legend Leila Mourad.

Tyre (Sour), Lebanon’s fourth most important city, is a coastal gem founded around 2750 BCE and located roughly 83 kilometers south of Beirut. Known for its deep history, ancient ruins, and enduring cultural heritage, Tyre also harbors something less known to tourists but alive in local lore: a site said to be haunted by the jinn, supernatural beings from Middle Eastern folklore.

In the heart of the coastal city of Al-Mukalla, the capital of Yemen’s Hadramaut governorate, lies Ambikha Cemetery, one of the oldest and largest burial grounds in the region.

But its reputation goes far beyond its religious and social significance. Over time, Ambikha has become shrouded in chilling local folklore and unsettling rumors that continue to stir fear among residents.

Across the world, abandoned places often become breeding grounds for eerie legends and whispered tales of the supernatural.

In Arab culture, these places take on an even deeper mystique, where the realms of folklore and faith intermingle and the belief in djinn, spirits, and cursed grounds is very much alive.

My troubles trace back to a Zār ceremony I attended when I was just six years old, a ritual whose true purpose and dangers I was too young and naive to understand. 

Over the following years, however, the devastating consequences became painfully clear.

In mid-February 2025, residents of Al-Asabaa—a quiet town in western Libya—woke up to a series of sudden fires consuming their homes one after another without any apparent cause. There were no thunderstorms, no reported wildfires nearby, and no widespread electrical failures, leaving the townspeople anxious and baffled.

Deep within the deserts of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, not far from the town of Al Madam, lies the haunting remains of a silent village - known today as Al Madam Ghost Village, or as locals sometimes call it, " The Village of the Jinn" (a reference to supernatural beings in Arabic folklore).

In the early hours of Friday, November 30, 2003, a horrifying tragedy unfolded in Apartment 112 of the Saray El-Sultan building on Mohamed Mazhar Street in Zamalek, Cairo. Within just 15 minutes, an astonishing 69 bullets were fired from an automatic weapon by Egyptian businessman Ayman Al-Sewedy. In a fit of rage and emotional collapse, he gunned down his wife, the celebrated Tunisian singer Zekra, as well as his executive director Amr El-Kholy and Amr’s wife Khadija. The massacre ended with Ayman turning a pistol on himself, taking his own life in the same blood-soaked apartment.
