Premise: Dadna (Arabic: ضدنا) is a village in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates, located 45 km north of the city centre. The area's economy has depended since ancient times on agriculture and fishing, in which much of the population works today. The village is known for its large supply of water and has been a site for many farms of the royal families across the Emirates.
Hypothesis: In the ancient times there was a heavier reliance on agriculture and fishing than there is now.
