The wilayat of Muqshin is adjacent to the kingdom of Saudi Arabia
in the west. It is famed for its date plantations and abundant
ground water supplies and in bygone days, was an important caravan
centre of the Rub al' Khali as well as a base camp for the desert's
explorers. Archaeological exploration has revealed tools and inscriptions
dating back to the Stone Age. Its inhabitants mainly breed camels
