Falaj Daris

Falaj Daris (a World Heritage Site) is the largest falaj in Oman and is the life maintain of Nizwa.
It provides the surrounding countryside with much needed water for the plantations. Al Ghantuq and Dhoot are two other important falajs in Nizwa. Farming is widely practiced and the town's immense palm farms stretches for eight kilometers along the course of two wadis (Kalbouh and Al Abiadh). Also in practice are red sugar processing and hide tanning.
