The falaj system and water course on which the settlement depends, together with the historic routes linking the settlement to other towns in the interior, extend far beyond its boundary. |
We start climbing across the terraces planted with apricots, onions, pomogranates, and lime trees. We then follow the falaj and climb steeply toward a small pass. |
Descending the switchback path, we reached the falaj, ancient irrigation channels that funnelled spring water to the cool and shady oasis. |
Robots like Notebook Corrector and Falaj Manager also drew many curios visitors. |
Soon we heard peals of laughter from children playing by the falaj and saw a deep water tank which, unusually, doubled as a bathing pool. |
The Falaj irrigates the small number of farms in al Fath area, which has become a domestic tourist destination for many families. |
