Oman / Dhofar /
Dhalkut
Dhalkut is located on the far west of Dhofar and has enjoyed its
own merchant sea trade with the ports of the Gulf and Yemen, exporting
leather, honey, figs and frankincense. This wilayat has many springs
which burst forth from the wadis of the Jebel al Qamar (Mountains
of the Moon).
The caves
and grottos in the area have provided shepherds and flocks with
safe refuge from adverse weather conditions for centuries. Certain
caves, such as Mashloul and Asbir contain ancient wall inscriptions.
