Manah
Gift of God
Manah (منح) is a town (population: 7,749) and the seat of Manah district (pop. 25,320) in the Ad-Dakhiliyah region. The word Manah in Arabic means ‘gift of God’, or ‘blessing’. The old town of Manah is one of Oman’s oldest archaeological sites and contains four mosques, 376 ancient houses, and almost 250 wells which are over nine centuries old. Al Fiqain castle, built in 1617, towers above the ancient ruins of the city, a dramatically beautiful site.
Manah is also growing in prominence as a place for learning Arabic, as Sultan Qaboos College for Teaching Arabic to Non-Native speakers is located there. Sponsored by the Royal Court, the college aims to become one of the leaders in teaching Modern Standard Arabic to foreigners.
Pray for the Town and District of Manah:
