The Dhahira region is a desert plain which extends from the foothills of the Western Hajar Mountains towards the Empty Quarter. It is separated from the Dakhliyah region by Jebel al Kawr, a spectacular mountain peak in Yanqul. It also borders Saudi Arabia in the west and the United Arab Emirates in the north. Archaeological discoveries indicate that ancient land routes have passed through Buraimi, Ibra, Wadi al Jizzi and al Hawanash with trade caravans using the region as a resting place.
