Al Batinah South Governorate

Al Batinah South Governorate extends between the Gulf of Oman coastline and the Al-Hajar Mountains, covering 3,500 square kilometers of diverse terrain.

The territory emerged in 2011 when authorities divided the Al Batinah Region into two separate governorates, establishing Rustaq as the administrative center.

The region incorporates six provinces, including Rustaq, Al Awabi, and Nakhal, each maintaining traditional agricultural practices and regional architectural styles.

Regular transportation services connect the governorate's main cities through a network of highways, making travel accessible between coastal areas and mountain settlements.

The population density reaches 355 people per square kilometer, making this governorate one of the most concentrated residential areas in Oman.
