WADI DAYKAH DAM

The dam on the still-watering Dayqah wadi is the largest in the sultanate, forming Oman's largest artificial lake, with a superb color ranging from blue to emerald. It was built to supply the cities of Muscat and Quriyat and stores 100 million^m3 of water. Well-known to Omanis, who like to spend days or weekends here with their families, the area, encircled by brown mountains, is well equipped for leisure activities (camping, activity center, etc.). To appreciate the beauty of the site, walk to the top of the dam wall.
