Could be, but not an ideal place to put CDCMs. However, it could be a SAM battery setup to protect the approaches to Abu Dhabi from Iran and the east.

There is an interesting patch of high res imagery about 120 miles SW of the inland missile site. It doesn't show up on Google Maps but it is on Google Earth. There is a military airfield and just to the east is a large gas-oil separation plant. It has SHAYBAHGOSP-2 painted on the roof of one of the buildings and there are several very large underground tanks visible.
