Wadi Ghul Dam, Ad Dakhiliyah Governorate, Oman
Wadi Al Nakhr, located in the western part of the Wilayat of Al Hamra in the Governorate of Al Dakhiliyah, is a wonderful tourist attraction. Waters of the valley formed during the ancient times formations of the mountain layers, so that the visitor can see them closely and even touch the rock layers, which scientists estimate to have been formed before over 30 million years ago.
This valley is considered a vital artery of one of the most important valleys of the Wilayat of Al Hamra as it directly affects the reservoir of ground water. It feeds the Wadi Ghul Dam, which is the most important dam in Al Dakhiliyah, serving a number of wilayats, including the wilayats of Nizwa and Bahla, as well as being the main feeder of Falaj Al Hamra, “water channel or ancient irrigation system” descends from the tops of Jabal Shams.
