Al Buraimi region (pop. 121,802; Arabic: ٱلْبُرَيْمِي) is located on the border of Oman and the UAE, and the regional capital, Al Buraimi, sits across from its sister city, Al Ain in the Abu Dhabi emirate. These twin cities are situated on an oasis, and were once an ancient caravan stop for weary travelers crossing the harsh desert. This area was historically known as 'Tawam' (تَوَام), or 'Twins', referring to the twin 'aflaj' irrigation channels that feed off of the oasis. Al Buraimi is also known for its unique fort architecture, as well as its slave market, which only closed in 1970. It was also the site of an international dispute in the 1950s as Saudi Arabia, Oman, the UAE, and Britain vied for control of the strategic piece of land.

• There has been a steady stream of Harvest Laborers in this area because of a language school. However, there have been changes in the past couple of years, and there aren’t as many on-site as before. Ask for more people to again come and live in this region.
• Pray for the many, many Gospel seeds sown over the years. Pray that they would be watered and bear fruit. There are few, if any, known believers here.

Worship with us!: Rise by HouseFires. May the well of the Holy Spirit rise up deep within the people of Oman!
