Saih Al-Dahal (Community: 971) is a small bedouin community located 50 km south of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.{{Cite web|title=Population Bulletin, Emirate of Dubai, 2014|url=https://www.dsc.gov.ae/Publication/Population%20Bulletin%20Emirate%20of%20Dubai%202014.pdf|access-date=September 22, 2020|website=dsc.gov.ae|publisher=Dubai Statistics Center}} It is the location where Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park has been commissioned in 2013 by Dubai Electricity and Water Authority.{{Cite web|title=Dubai launches Dh120m solar power plant|url=https://www.thenational.ae/uae/environment/dubai-launches-dh120m-solar-power-plant-1.288533|access-date=2020-09-22|website=The National|date=22 October 2013 |language=en}}

The location (of the community) has a very less population density and further testing showed the lowest accumulation of dust and smaller particle surface area which directly reduces the spectral soiling losses in case of solar power plants.{{Cite book|last1=Albadwawi|first1=Omar|last2=John|first2=Jim|last3=Elhassan|first3=Yahya|last4=Albanna|first4=Fatima|last5=Almamari|first5=Fatima|last6=Alqassim|first6=Amal|last7=Alnuaimi|first7=Aaesha|title=2019 IEEE 46th Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) |chapter=Quantification of spectral losses of Natural soiling and detailed microstructural analysis of Dust collected from Different locations in Dubai, UAE |date=June 21, 2019|chapter-url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8980937|pages=3115–3118|doi=10.1109/PVSC40753.2019.8980937|isbn=978-1-7281-0494-2|s2cid=211057574}}
