Oman
/ A'Dhahira / Mahdhah
The wilayat
of Mahdhah was the home of Ahmed bin Nu'man al Ka'abi, the first
Arab ambassador to the United States in 1840. It now contains
99 villages and many of its inhabitants farm the land, growing
crops such as corn, dates and animal fodder. Indeed, its soil
is so suited to agriculture, that the wilayat adopted the corn
ear as its emblem.
Local crafts
include weaving, spinning and palm-weave products.
