Taqah
Wadis, Forts, and Cemetaries
Taqah (Arabic: طاقة, pop. 12,538) is a town and seat of Taqah District (pop. 21,487) in the Dhofar Region. It is located on the coast just east of Salalah, and is a popular tourist destination. Wadi Darbat draws thousands of visitors during Khareef, when the waterfalls and rivers are flowing amongst lush green foliage. Taqah Castle is one of the better restored forts in the Sultanate, and Khor Rori/Sumharam archeological park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Taqah also has a cemetery where Sultan Qaboos’ mother Mayzuna is buried, as well as his uncle and grandfather.
In Arabic, Taqah means energy, power, or capacity.
“I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe in Him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.” (Ephesians 1:19-20) We bless the people of Taqah to believe in Jesus and know the resurrection power of God!
Pray for the Town and District of Taqah:
