**Shis** ([Arabic](/source/Arabic_language): شيص) is the name of a settlement to the East of [Sharjah](/source/Emirate_of_Sharjah), [United Arab Emirates](/source/United_Arab_Emirates) (UAE). It is the westernmost district of [Khor Fakkan](/source/Khor_Fakkan) Municipality.

The village of Shis was previously accessible only by a track leading from the East Coast up the [Wadi Shis](/source/Wadi_Shis), a seasonal watercourse that passes through the [Omani](/source/Oman) exclave of [Madha](/source/Madha) and the Emirati exclave of [Nahwa](/source/Nahwa), itself enclosed by the Omani exclave.[1] The village is now reached by the [Khor Fakkan](/source/Khor_Fakkan) road.[2][3]

It is the location of the [Shees Park](/source/Shees_Park_Sharjah), a recreational facility opened in October 2020.
