Oman / A'Dhahira / Yanqul


Yanqul lies in the northeast of Oman and is considered a 'transit station' between the Dhahira and Batinah regions. The most famous landmark in Yanqul is Jebel al Hawra, a beautiful mountain peak adopted by the wilayat as its emblem.

The area has a great deal to offer visitors: at the summit Jebel al Khutaim, some 600ft above the surrounding plain, the panorama reveals a number of ancient ruins. Wadi al Raki is a popular tourist location owing to its fine scenery and wide variety of trees.

Traditional crafts in Yanqul include goldsmithing, sugar-making, carpentry and weaving.
