Leading the UAE charge was Rayan Ahmed, who posted a final-round score of 74 to finish with a total of 215, one under par.
Ahmed's performance earned him the Silver Medal, four shots behind Morocco's Youssef El Hali. El Hali's consistent rounds of 69, 72, and 70 gave him a five under par total of 211, securing the Gold Medal.
Despite an impressive start, first-round leader Mohamad Skaik finished tied for fifth, narrowly missing out on an individual medal.
In the team competition, Morocco dominated, winning the Gold Medal by eight strokes. The UAE team, comprised of Ahmed, Skaik, and Neyl Cherrat, secured Silver, while the host nation, Tunisia, took home the Bronze Medal, finishing 13 shots behind the UAE.
