Oman / A'Dakhliyah
/ Sumail
Wilayat Sumail was home to Mazin bin Ghaduba, the first Omani
to embrace Islam. He built the first mosque in Sumail, in 9th
century AH which is known as the Mosque of Mazin. Sumail contains
many wadis, some of which constitute the natural 'Sumail Gap'
which divides the mountains into the Western Hajar and Eastern
Hajar ranges. There are around 190 afalaj which meander around
green oases and date plantations. Some of the best dates in Oman
come from Sumail. There are a number of different date palms grown
here: Naghal; Fardh; Handhal; Khanizi; Mabsali; and Khasab.
