Oman / Al Wusta
/ The Region
The al Wusta was formed in 1991 by Royal Decree and contains the
four wilayats of Haima, Al Jazur, Duqm and Mahut. It lies south
of the Dakhliyah region and is bordered on the east by the Arabian
Sea, and on the west by Saudi Arabia. The area has seven oil installations
comprising a number of important oil fields.
Its desert
regions are home to many indigenous animals, such as the Arabian
oryx, desert rabbits, foxes, mountain goats and over 130 different
species of birds. It has a coastline of around 170km.
The characteristics
of the beaches differ in each wilayat: some are rocky and shingled;
others are of clean, white sand. All the coastal areas are subject
to light summer rains and moderate temperatures with cool breezes,
enhancing their attraction to tourists.
