Adam is roughly 295 km from Muscat and is the southern gate to Ad-Dakhliyah. It is thought that the wilayat derived its name from Adim Al-Ardh, meaning 'surface of the earth', or 'fertile land in the desert'.
Adam is noted for its old Harat, typical Omani communal settlements, where homes are built in a tight huddle. These clusters of stone-and-mud dwellings, connected by a labyrinth of narrow pathways, are laid out like steps along the slopes of rocky hills.
Examples of these Harat include Harat Al-Busaid - the birthplace of Imam Ahmad bin Said, the founder of the Al-Bu Said dynasty, Harat Beni Shaiban - a critical station on the route of camel caravans before Islam, Harat Al-Hawashim and Harat Al-Ain. Famous leaders like Mohalab bin Abi Sofrah and Saif Al-Shibani were born in these Harat.
The wilayat is also rich in historic buildings, such as the mosques of Al-Mahlabiyah, Al-Rahbah and Al-Rawghah, in addition to the forts of Adam, Falaj Al-Ain, Falaj Al-Maleh and some 30 towers. Adam also boasts a number of interesting natural sites like Jabal Salakh, Wadi Halfain, the springs of Ar-Rakheem, Al-Jandali and Namah, and four aflaj.
