Revived falaj in Al Buraimi a big hit with children

Muscat: Children are enjoying swimming in Al Saarani Falaj in Al Buraimi after a gap of more than 15 years.
The children are not only enjoying the cool water, but also learning the swimming technique.
In 2017, a team of volunteers, led by Talib Al Jabri, took over the efforts to revive the falaj that had gone dry over 15 years ago.
Al Jabri, who is the Wakeel or representative of the falaj, said: “We have now expanded the falaj to not only provide water to the oases and farms over a large area but to make it a tourist attraction and for people to be able to swim at specific spots.”
