Oman / Dhofar / Dhalkut


Dhalkut is located on the far west of Dhofar and has enjoyed its own merchant sea trade with the ports of the Gulf and Yemen, exporting leather, honey, figs and frankincense. This wilayat has many springs which burst forth from the wadis of the Jebel al Qamar (Mountains of the Moon).

The caves and grottos in the area have provided shepherds and flocks with safe refuge from adverse weather conditions for centuries. Certain caves, such as Mashloul and Asbir contain ancient wall inscriptions.
