Oman / Muscat / Al Amerat


The wilayat of Al Amerat is situated south of Muttrah and southwest of Quriyat. In the past, it has been known as Al Fatah and Al Mutahadamat.

There are a number of tourist sites here, such as Wadi Sireen Nature Reserve, Wadi al Meeh, Ghar Hadhadha Cave, Jebel Saqif and the Safah al Bab well at the foot of the mountain.

Date plantations and mango groves are grown here and watered by the 61 afalaj. Local livelihoods include goat herding, weaving and red ochre quarrying.
