The Governorate of Dhofar is in the far south of the Sultanate and borders on the Wusta Region the east, the Arabian Sea to the south, the Republic of Yemen to the west and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the north and north-west.

It is not simply a place of historical interest. All of its ten Wilayats display the clear imprint of the Renaissance. No mountain, plain, stretch of coast or border post, even as far as the sands of the Rub' Al Khali, has been neglected. The outstanding feature of the development process undergone by Dhofar and its nine Wilayats is the extent to which this process shows balance and harmony, the extent to which it has been influenced by the demographic and geographic realities represented in the disparity between upland and plain.

It is also distinguished by a remarkable model of local administration, as symbolized by the presence of the apparatus of State in even the smallest population centre. This fact alone reflects the leadership's commitment to extend basic services to every citizen of Oman and to maintain a continuing dialogue with every sector of the population.
