Nakhal (Arabic: نَخَل, pop. 15,580) is a town and seat of Nakhal district (pop. 28,037) in Al Batinah South. It is home to many old castles and forts, including the distinctive Nakhal Fort built into the rocky mountainside and guarding an immense oasis of date palms. The foundations of the fort date back to pre-Islamic times, but the current structure was built in 1834. This area is also known for its wadis and hot springs, and is a popular tourist destination.

In Arabic, Nakhal is related to the word for palm tree, which this area is full of.

"But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do." (Psalm 1:2-3)

We bless the people of Nakhal to be like trees planted by the water, fruitful and prospering, secure on the foundation of God’s Word!
