Oman / A'Dakhliyah / Sumail Wilayat Sumail was home to Mazin bin Ghaduba, the first Omani to embrace Islam. He built the first mosque in Sumail, in 9th century AH which is known as the Mosque of Mazin. Sumail contains many wadis, some of which constitute the natural 'Sumail Gap' which divides the mountains into the Western Hajar and Eastern Hajar ranges. There are around 190 afalaj which meander around green oases and date plantations. Some of the best dates in Oman come from Sumail. There are a number of different date palms grown here: Naghal; Fardh; Handhal; Khanizi; Mabsali; and Khasab. |
