Himarat Al Qaylah, the Donkey of Al Qaylah, and Kilab Al Qaylah, the Dogs of Al Qaylah, are Emirati mythical figures connecting a particular time of day with supernatural creatures. Their roots lie in Arab and Emirati folk heritage, in which jinn and devils were believed to appear frequently during Al Qaylah, the intensely hot midday period under the burning sun and exposed conditions, when children and women were considered particularly vulnerable. Jinn were believed to possess domestic animals, especially donkeys and dogs, using them as vessels for supernatural activity and as signs of danger. These symbolic creatures were associated with certain practices and objects, including sarr (the carrying or bundling of objects), traditional clothing, and particular locations in alleys and old homes, where families passed warnings orally from generation to generation. These figures were not merely symbols of fear; they also reflected cultural and social interaction between people and their surroundings, combining religious beliefs, folklore and communal awareness intended to preserve safety.
