Wadi Al-Ma’awil (Arabic, وادي المعاول, pop. 20,174) is a district in the mountain area of Al-Batinah South. It is situated in one of the main mountain passes, between Nakhal and the coast. Consisting of quiet towns and small villages, this district is actually steeped in history, and home to numerous fortifications underscoring its strategic location and importance. It is also the birthplace of several influential religious scholars, as well as poets and writers. This area is also known for its silverwork, especially of khanjars, the traditional Omani daggers. 

In Arabic, ‘Al-Ma’awil’ is the plural of hoe or pick. May the soil of the hearts in Al-Ma’awil be tilled and ready to receive the seeds of Good News!

This is what the Lord says to the people of [Oman]: “Plow up the hard ground of your hearts! Do not waste your good seed among thorns. O people of Judah and Jerusalem, surrender your pride and power. Change your hearts before the Lord” (Jeremiah 4:3-4)
