Saham
Becoming Green Again
Saham (Arabic: صحم, pop. 23,923) is a coastal town and seat of Saham district (pop. 150,057) in Al-Batinah North region. It is primarily a fishing and farming area, known especially for its lemons. Saham is also known for its authentic traditional crafts and industries, folk arts, and camel and horse races. Its seafront has a historical fort, as well as ruins of ancient houses probably belonging to wealthy merchants. The area is also noted for its natural beauty, with mountains and wadis worth exploring.
In Arabic, ‘Saham’ signifies a green plant that has yellowed, or land that has dried up for lack of rain. We bless Saham to receive God’s rains and become a verdant garden, physically and spiritually!
