Wilayat Manah showcases its culture and tradition

Visitors to the Muscat festival were treated to an authentic experience in the historic wilayat Manah at Amerat Park. Visitors were enthralled by a theatre performance based on the life of Malik Al Azdi. Al Azdi had come to Oman 2,000 years ago and had created a falaj called Malik Falaj.
People can still see some of the remains. They experienced a traditional Sabla, which is an area where members of the community gather.
