Wadi Bani Khalid, Oman

Wadi Bani Khalid Oman

Wadi Bani Khalid is one of the best-known wadis in the Sultanate of Oman. Its stream maintains a constant flow of water throughout the year. Large pools of water and boulders are scattered along the course of the wadi. As a geographical area, the wadi covers a large swathe of lowland and the Hajar Mountains. Kuhūf form some of the features of this wadi. These include Kahf Maqal (كَـهْـف مَـقَـل), which was described as an "underground chamber" of the Sultanate of Oman, or the akthar (أَكْـثَـر, 'best') out of 4000 caves. Aflāj (underground canals) or ʿUyūn are also common in this wadi, including ʿAin Ḥamūdah ( عَـيْـن حَـمُـوْدَة), ʿAin aṣ-Ṣārūj (عَـيْـن الـصَّـارُوْج) and ʿAin Dawwah (عَـيْـن دَوَّه).
