Wadi Bani Khalid Explained
Wādī Banī Khālid (Arabic: وَادِي بَنِي خَالِد) is a wadi and a tourist attraction in Oman.[1] Its stream maintains a constant flow of water throughout the year. Large pools of water and boulders are scattered along the course of the wadi. As a geographical area, the wadi covers a large swathe of lowland and the Hajar Mountains.[2]
Caves form some of the features of this wadi. These include Kahf Maqal (Arabic: كَهْف مَقَل), which was described as an "underground chamber" of the Sultanate of Oman,[3] or the best out of 4,000 caves.[4] [5] Aflāj (underground canals)[6] and springs[7] are also common in this wadi, including ʿAin Ḥamūdah (Arabic: عَيْن حَمُوْدَة),[8] ʿAin aṣ-Ṣārūj (Arabic: عَيْن ٱلصَّارُوْج) and ʿAin Dawwah (Arabic: عَيْن دَوَّه).[9]
