Al Amarat is located in the middle of Muscat Governate, surrounding it Muttrah from the north, and Bawshar from the west, and Muscat (the state) from the east, and Dema Wa Thaieen from the south west.

The state merges the past and present as there are existing houses and Souqs that are made from Omani Sarooj which is proved to be standing strong until now.

In addition to that, there is also the historical AlKhufaiji Mosque, which is believed to be built in the reign of Sayed Hilal Bin Ahmed Al Busaidi (The eldest son of Ahmed bin Said, the first of the Al Said Dynasty) which is circa 1750.

Al Sirren Nature reserve is also located in the state, which mainly preserves the life of Capra and Gazelle.

Perhaps the most famous (Or infamous if you're driving) thing about Al Amarat, is the way there, if you went from Bawshar way, the way has many sharp turns and constantly going upwards and downwards, which makes it a headache to even thinking about driving that way, but to compensate that, the view from the top of the mountain is unworldly.
