Buraimi Tourism

Buraimi is a town situated on the border between the countries of Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is separated from its sister city, Al Ain, by an open border and is part of the Al Buraimi Governorate. The town is an oasis in the desert and has a history that dates back to the ancient caravans trading across the region. Buraimi is known for its historic forts, such as Al Khandaq Fort, and its characteristic palm groves that punctuate the arid landscape, sustaining a variety of agriculture typical to the oasis environment. The community in Buraimi reflects a blend of Omani and Emirati cultures, influenced by its unique position as a border town. The economy is driven by trade, agriculture, and tourism. Buraimi also serves as a strategic access point to the inner regions of Oman and the coastal cities of the UAE. Despite modern influences, it still retains a traditional charm and offers a glimpse into the region's rich culture and history.
