Oman / Al Batinah
/ Awabi
Wilayat Awabi is a place of eminent learning and has been home
to many Omani scholars, poets and the literati. The Aliya region
has stunning natural scenery with towering mountains and deep
valleys. The Aja region is dotted with caves and secret passageways
through the rocks, where ancient rock art and writing is carved
into the walls. Precious metals are still worked into exquisite
designs in Awabi; gold and silver jewellery is made in the traditional
way, which is popular with locals and tourists alike.
