Wilāyat Wādī Banī Khālid ( Arabic: وِلَايَة وَادِي بَنِي خَالِد) [4] [5] is a Wilāyah ( Province) [1] [6] in the Northern Governorate of the Eastern Region of Oman. [3] [7] Located about 126 mi (203 km) from Muscat, and 120 km (75 mi) from Sur, [7] the province has a wadi which serves as a destination for tourists, that is Wādī Banī Khālid ( Arabic: وَادِي بَنِي خَالِد). [3] [2]
The village of Badaʿ (بضعه) [8] is a well-known stop for tourists in the valley. [9] [10] Bidiyyah is approximately 40 km (25 mi) by road. [11] [12] [13]
The earliest inhabitants of the Wadi Bani Khalid area were the Bedouin tribes, whose traditional lifestyle was different from that of nomadic life.
From then on, the wadi has since been a tourist attraction, for its beautiful desert scenery and deep turquoise natural springs.
