A
drive along the recently completed dual carriageway between the
Governorate of Muscat and the Dakhiliyah Governorate offers delightful views of
palm groves and desert trees against a backdrop of majestic, high mountains
with their peaks wrapped in cloud. Bordering on the Governorate of Muscat to
the north, the Wusta Governorate to the south, the Sharqiyah Governorate to the east
and the Dhahirah North ,and South Batinah Governorates to the west, the Dakhiliyah is the
Sultanate's strategic hinterland and links Muscat with the other governorates.
The Dakhiliyah Governorate has eight wilayats - Nizwa, Sumail, Bahla, al Hamra, Manah, Adam, lzki and Bidbid. It is rich in economic and natural resources and has numerous tourist attractions including forts, castles, towers, old residential quarters and historic mosques. The Wilayat of Nizwa has a famous and imposing fort, several old mosques and a traditional souq, while Bahla Fort is one of the treasures of the human heritage. Misfah al Abriyeen in the Wilayat of al Hamra is a splendid example of a "hanging village", while the wilayats of Adam, Manah, Izki, Sumail and Bidbid offer the visitor a range of interesting features, both ancient and modem.
To encourage tourism in the Dakhiliyah Governorate the government is developing the al Hootah Cave in the Wilayat of al Hamra, which is truly one of the wonders of nature. The old mountain passes on the slopes of al Jabal al Akhdhar and Jabal Shams have been restored to provide opportunities for trekking and adventure tourism and camps have been set up for tourists and week-end hikers.
