Birkat Al Mouz
Birkat Al Mouz is a small town in Wilayat Nizwa in the Al Dakhiliyah Governorate of Oman. Birkat Al Mouz is located at the foothills of Jabal Akhdar.
The Al Ya’aribah Mosque, built in 1649, is considered one of the oldest mosques in Oman and has Falaj Al Khatmain passing through it. There are a few private stalls/rooms just outside the mosque where there is access to the falaj, allowing locals to bathe or wash from it. Just near the Al Ya’aribah Mosque, there is Bait Al Ridaydah Castle.
A short-walk from the mosque towards the palm farms will lead you to the old part of Birkat Al Mouz, known locally as Harat Al Sibani, which means "neighborhood of the Sibani family". The old neighborhood has numerous old houses, and ruins inter-wined with newer houses.
The oldest part is near the hills overlooking the farms, where you could walk through and reach a semi-demolished tower for an excellent view of the surrounds.
