Ibrā'

Ibra is an old town in eastern Oman, known for its market, mosques and fortified houses. Its historic quarter of al-Manzafah contains buildings with inscriptions and decorative work, while watchtowers and forts stand among the town's older structures. Agriculture, trade and crafts have long supported its inhabitants: smiths and silversmiths made tools, jewellery and curved daggers, while other artisans worked leather and palm fronds. Irrigation channels, including Falaj al-Afrit, brought water to the settlement and its gardens.
