For my two cents - I believe it's a large aquifier storage involving a desalination process. peace
In the desert? Wouldn't they have to be on the very edge of an ocean?

coords are 24.714502,54.984069 in google maps
there are road structures and the surrounding area is being developed
Don't ask how I found it, I really couldn't answer, I just got rather lucky or something.

They don't look like domes, they look more like craters.
The road spirals downwards, not up.
Looks like it to me anyway.

You think they are weird, have a look in google earth and drag the date line back to 2005 the roads change, its like its been left to be covered by the sand storms.
also have a look at this , CO-ORDS 24*38'48.72"N 55*06'06.70"E
what kind of test strip or runway is this ?, also it looked brand new built in 2005 but dusty by 2006-2010 ?
and its right near these weird looking towers, If all honest I would suggest the look more like Vacuum Tunnel entrances rather than Water towers as some would suggest. ! why else would they by coned (snail shell) shaped ?

The UAE is on the edge of the Persian Gulf

If it went down it would be filled with sand.
The project area in the remote Liwa region enjoys excellent conditions for the exploitation of aquifers, with good storage capacity and groundwater flow regime, and a high quality of natural groundwater. A feasibility study, followed by a pilot project in 2002-2003, demonstrated the technical suitability of the proposed infiltration and recovery schemes for artificial recharge, and the use of desalinated seawater for the purpose.
