Duqm (Arabic: ٱلدُّقْم) is a town (pop. 12,805) and seat of the Duqm district (pop. 19,221) on the central coast of Al-Wusta region. The name 'Duqm' is derived from the original Arabic word 'al-Adqam' which means ‘a person who has lost his front teeth,’ as the port area looked to be caught between two ‘jaws’ of mountains that surround the town.

Duqm was a small fishing settlement of the Janubah tribe when a party of soldiers and geologists landed in 1954 to begin the modern oil exploration of central Oman. Eventually the tribes of the area were relocated to a new settlement built by the government, and today Duqm is an industrial and logistics hub. Still under construction, the Duqm Special Economic Zone has investments of up to $15 billion and is projected to be one of the largest developments of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa.

Outside of the port area, Duqm is known for it’s pristine beaches, as well as a unique ‘rock garden’ of limestone and sandstone rock formations–a geologist’s delight!

"Truly He is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will never be shaken." (Psalm 62:2) We bless the people of Duqm to know the Living God as their Rock and Salvation!
