Oman / Dhofar /
Rakhyut
Wilayat Rakhyut is in the south east corner of Dhofar, neighbouring
Salalah. In ancient times, Rakhyut was a seaport station on the
sea caravan routes to India and East Africa, exporting frankincense
and other local products.
The area
is mountainous and has a convoluted coastline distinguished by
inlets and bays. Pearl diving is still carried out by the locals
who seek the precious gem from the oysters.
