(WNAM Monitoring): A UAE citizen recently uncovered a rare find in the Al Dhaid area in Sharjah — a sealed Pepsi-Cola bottle bearing the name ‘Dubai’ in Arabic, dating back to the 1960s. Despite decades of weather fluctuations, the bottle remained sealed, preserving its contents and inscription.
Ali Rashid Al Ketbi, a heritage enthusiast and researcher, stumbled upon this bottle while exploring the region after heavy rains exposed buried artefacts. As he followed the course of a wadi, he noticed a portion of the land had been eroded, he continued his exploration until he reached a rocky area with a cavity where he discovered the sealed Pepsi-Cola bottle, a relic from Dubai Refreshments Company.
He said: “Being a collector of old things, I used to ask the elders in the area if there were any relics in this place. When the valley flooded, it uncovered some hidden things, I walked along the valley path until I found the bottle.”
