Rakhyut (Arabic: رخيوت, pop. 706) is a small town and seat of Rakhyut District (pop. 4,985) in the Dhofar Region. It is located on the coast west of Salalah. Similar to other coastal towns in the area, it is marked by beautiful white sand beaches with a backdrop of dramatic mountains. The area sees much tourism during the ‘khareef’ season, and hosts a festival in the ‘serb’ season, following the khareef. In ancient times Rakhyut played an important role in the frankincense trade, and still has a fort from times of skirmishes with the Mahra tribes. Rakhyut is also called ‘Qamar’, or moon in Arabic.  

“All humanity will come to worship me from one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another,” says the Lord.” (Isaiah 66:23) We bless the people of Rakhyut to come and worship You, God, from one New Moon to the next!
