Al-Khaburah (Arabic: الخابورة, pop. 63,750) is a coastal city and seat of Al-Khaburah district (pop. 78,775) in Al Batinah North region. Similar to other towns along the Barinah coast, Alkhaburah is known for its agriculture and fishing, growing sugar cane, wheat, dates, and cotton. Residents are also known for their handicrafts, such as Khanjar (dagger) making, weaving, pottery, copper, and leather industries. The mountains and wadis are also notable, and Al-Khaburah is sometimes called “mini-Salalah” for how its hills green up when the rains come.

In Arabic, Al-Khaburah comes from the root kh-b-r, meaning, news, to be informed, to have experience. Let us bless the people of Al-Khaburah to receive the Gospel–the Good News of Jesus!
