Al Hamra, Oman is an ancient town in the Sultanate of Oman, located in the northeastern interior of the country, under the Interior Province. Nestled at the foot of the Hajar Mountains, about 200 kilometers from the capital city of Muscat, this historic city is known for its well-preserved traditional mud-brick architecture and deep cultural heritage.
The core attraction of Al Hamra, Oman is the Al Hamra Old Town, a collection of multi-storey mud-brick houses built in the 17th century, showcasing traditional Omani architecture. Visitors can stroll through the narrow streets and soak up the rich historical atmosphere. The nearby oasis and the Faraj Irrigation System (an ancient waterway) exemplify the wisdom of the locals in coexisting with their arid environment. In addition, the city's proximity to the famous Jebel Shams, known as the 'Sun Mountain', makes it a popular destination for hiking and sightseeing.
The region is culturally rich and attracts travelers interested in Oman's history and natural beauty every year. Hamra Oman not only offers the opportunity to explore ancient Arabian life, but is also the gateway to adventure in the Omani highlands.
