Digdaga Plains is a large fertile sand/gravel plain in northern United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is the biggest and most fertile plain.
Digdaga is in Fujairah.[1] To the southwest is a sand desert and to the west are mountains. The landscape used to be a savannah with Prosopis cineraria trees and Calotropis, but this has mostly been replaced with cultivation. There is also birdlife here.[1] To the south of it is Kalba.[2] There is a Vegetable Market for produce.[citation needed]
There is some confusion that Digdaga Plains are in Ras Al Khaimah or Fujairah. It is clearly in Fujairah.[citation needed] Some textbooks and maps have marked it incorrectly. The UAE Government had officially announced in 2013 that it is situated in Fujairah to clear the confusion.[citation needed] In the new edition of textbooks and maps it will be marked correctly.[citation needed]
