Al-Buraimi (Arabic: ٱلْبُرَيْمِي, pop. 92,223) is the capital and largest city of Al Buraimi Region, and seat of Ar-Buraimi District (pop. 110,171). It is a border town, adjacent to the more prosperous city of Al Ain in the Abu Dhabi Emirate of the UAE. In the past this was an open border, and people were able to cross freely. In recent years the border has tightened up, with no more unregulated movement across it. There is an extensive border fence separating the two cities, and new border posts to control the crossing.

As a caravan oasis, the city of Al-Buraimi has long been a center for trade. This is evidenced by two ancient, imposing forts as well as extensive markets in the downtown area. It is also home to two institutes of higher education: The University of Buraimi, and Al Buraimi University. The district is known for its palm frond craft, production of copper tools, and embroidered clothing.

The name Buraimi is related to the Arabic root meaning ‘to twirl’. In Hebrew, the word translated  “exult” means to jump and spin around, in joy. 

"The Lord your God is in your midst, a warrior who gives victory; he will rejoice over you with gladness, he will renew you in his love; he will exult [dance, leap, spin] over you with loud singing." (Zephaniah 3:17)

So let us bless the town of Al-Buraimi with the knowledge of God’s love and joy and delight in them!
