The distinguishing feature of Al-Dhahir village lies in its abundant resources, including a vast falaj and a flowing river of fresh and plentiful water.

Exploiting the presence of this ample water source, the people of Al-Dhahir historically and contemporarily cultivated a variety of crops.

Bidiyah Province stands as a gateway to the beautiful oases at the entrance of the Eastern Sands, serving as a starting point for adventures into a world of excitement and vitality.

This oasis serves as a living model of harmonious blending, where golden sands cradle it, creating a green peninsula in a unique tableau that distinguishes it from other oases in the Sultanate.

Numerous tourist activities and events take place in these sands, including off-road vehicle dune challenges, horse and camel races, contributing to the dynamic atmosphere of the region.

The fortress also accommodates rooms for the governor's family, storerooms, and spaces for the military commander, ammunition storage, and other functions.
