The Wilayat of Al-Jazer is located on the central region's coastline strip and is surrounded by states on most sides. It is bounded to the north by the Wilayat of Duqm, to the south by the Wilayat of Shilam, which is one of the states of the Omani Governorate of Dhofar, to the west by the Wilayat of Haima, and to the east by the Arabian Sea.[2]
People
[edit | edit source]Residents of the state used to build dark caves to live in until the year 1970. They built them of stones, one on top of the other, with no sticky materials. Because of climate change, storms, and other factors, the stones began falling, and caves were left without roofs, making the residents vulnerable from their conditions.
Development
[edit | edit source]Modern housing has expanded throughout the state. There are schools, offices for services, and an office to assist the governor. The state also features an administrative and commercial complex comprising a collection of stores that provide the people with necessary resources.[2]
