Al Buraimi Governorate
Al Buraimi Governorate, Administrative division in northern Oman
The Al Buraimi Governorate extends across 7,000 square kilometers of terrain at the border between Oman and the United Arab Emirates.
The region holds Bronze Age settlements from 600 CE when Azdi tribes established their presence in this strategic location between modern-day Oman and UAE.
The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque stands as the central religious structure in Al Buraimi, where traditional markets display local handicrafts and goods.
Visitors access Al Buraimi through multiple entry points from the UAE, with regular bus services connecting Dubai to Muscat through this governorate.
The Buraimi Dispute of the 1950s centered on Saudi Arabian territorial claims over this region due to potential oil reserves beneath its surface.
