Hamasa Historic Quarter

Hamasa is one of the oldest historic quarters in Al Buraimi, built more than five centuries ago around a market and several fortified towers. One tower has already been restored by the Ministry of Heritage and Culture, and the quarter's old souq, with its distinctive layout of stalls and storerooms, points to what was once a busy trading life. Most houses are simple single-storey stone buildings, and the governorate is now working with the University of Al Buraimi to fully document the quarter before restoring it as a heritage village with guesthouses, cafes and craft shops for visitors.
