Al Hamra (Arabic: ٱلْحَمْرَاء, romanized: Al-Ḥamrāʾ) is a 400-year-old town in the region Ad Dakhiliyah, in northeastern Oman.

Some of the oldest preserved houses in Oman can be found in Al Hamra, a town built on a tilted rock slab.

Many of the houses have two, three and even four stories,[4] with ceilings made of palm beams and fronds topped by mud and straw.

This is how Sheikh Ibrahim bin Saeed Al-Abri, the former Mufti of the Sultanate, described it as the area located north of Bahla to the foothills of the Green Mountain.

Sheikh Ibrahim bin Saeed Al-Abri mentioned in his statement: "As we mentioned earlier, these people are from the people of the Mafsah region, because the land of Al-Hamra was not inhabited and did not have a river until the year 1066 AH, as I saw in the writings of Sheikh Rashid bin Raja Al-Abri.

The work is still ongoing until its water flowed during the days of Sheikh Malik bin Rashid in the early 13th century.

The people of Misfat Al Abriyeen used these droppings as fertilizer for the soil, hence the cave was named after them.

It is characterized by its dark and narrow entrance, with beautiful geological formations inside that reach a height of 15 meters.

The heights vary from one part to another, and in some places, entry requires crawling on hands and knees.

The valleys in Al-Hamra Governorate are considered a wonderful natural addition and contain many geological beauties.

Al-Sheikh Mohsen bin Zahrani Al-Abri Public Library, in cooperation with the Omani Geological Society, visited and explored Wadi Al-Madaam.

A group of people walked from the bottom of the valley to the top and discovered many fossilized shells and ancient drawings.

Through the collaboration between the Omani Geological Society and other institutions that aim to discover and document geological findings, support was provided to this initiative by exploring the depths of Al Faiqeen Cave in Al Hamra Governorate, with the participation of members of the society and adventure enthusiasts who enjoy mountain climbing and cave exploration.

It is one of the highest peaks in the Arabian Peninsula, reaching an elevation of 3000 meters above sea level.

It has a camping and hiking center, as well as several small villages inhabited by the residents of Jebel Shams.

It is one of the places frequently visited by tourists due to its charm and the captivating heritage that takes your breath away.

What distinguishes this rock is its large, semi-circular shape, rising about three meters above the valley floor, surrounded by ghaf, sidr, and arak trees from three sides.
