Rakhyut

Rakhyut (Arabic: رخيوت, romanized: Rakhyūt) is a Wilayat or province of Dhofar Governorate in the Sultanate of Oman.

Lorimer recorded Rakhyut in his Gazetteer of the Persian Gulf, noting its location as being on the coast and roughly 13 miles west of Ras Sajar.

The village stands on the west side of a creek, on the opposite side of which is a tower built by the 'Omani Wali of Dhufar to keep off the attacks of hostile Mahras.

Rakhyūt has increased considerably in the last 20 years in consequence of the expansion of the frankincense trade.

Rakhyut is also called Qamar and occasionally Sa'duni from the name of a former chief.
