Al Qabil

Al-Qābil () is a village in Al Buraimi Governorate (formerly Ad Dhahirah Region), in northwestern Oman. A small agricultural village on the edge of the Wahibah Desert, Al Qabil lies about south along the Muscat-Sur Highway (Highway 21) from Al Ain across the border in the United Arab Emirates. The village lies south of Mazyad and Al-Zahir, west of Hisn Mazyad, and northwest of Al-Mintirib. Described as a "prosperous market village", Al-Qabil lies at a curve in the road before "descending into the Sa'dah basin from the west". The village is said to contain populations of Al Bu-Shamis group of the Na'im who moved into the village from across the border with the Emirates. Wadi Sarin is said to flow nearby.
The village contains Al Qabil Rest House, a quaint licensed country hotel. The village of Gharbi Hafit lies to the immediate north and the hamlet of Sharqi Hafit to the immediate east.
