Oman / Al Batinah
/ Masn'a
The wilayat of Masn'a is located on the rich fertile plain of
the Batinah Coast. It was once a popular market town and supplied
many of the neighbouring wilayats with various commodities. Due
to its many sana (industries), Masn'a received its name.
Today, one
of the main industries is cloth dying, using the indigo plant.
Other industries include making red sugar, ship and boat building
and sword making. Masn'a is one of the few wilayats which does
not have any springs or afalaj - except the remains of an ancient
one which was dug in the era of Imam Sultan bin Saif al Yar'ubi.
