Oman / A'Dakhliyah / Bidbid



The wilayat of Bidbid is the closest of the Dakhliyah to Muscat, lying only 80km from the capital. There are 40 towers in the area, the most famous being that in Fanja. Wadi Fanja often contains running water and is a pleasant local picnic spot. Pottery and mats are handmade locally, the latter being woven from the leaves and branches of the palm tree.
