Tanuf:
Tanuf is a seaside resort in the Sultanate of Oman at the foot of Jebel Akhdar between Al Hamra and Nizwa, in the north of the Ad-Dākhilīyah region. It consists of the former partially ruined village, popular with tourists, and a more modern part linked to the presence of a bottling plant of mineral water. The irrigation system known as falaj is widespread in the Sultanate of Oman. That of Tanuf is quite particular, insofar as it is built against the cliff and raised to a height of up to 10 m1. With a length of 200 m, the falaj has retained for the most part its original route, designed more than 300 years ago. It is always used. The mosque is also preserved. During the revolt of the late 1950s, the rebels had taken refuge in the Jebel Akhdar, many of whom came from, which gave them an excellent knowledge of the terrain, particularly difficult to access. Sultan Said ibn Taimur, the father of the present Sultan Qabus ibn Said, solicited British military assistance, but their joint efforts failed at first. After further incidents, two squadrons of SAS Special Forces were called upon. It was in the context of these operations that the village was bombed on July 27, 1957 by De Havilland Venom planes of the Royal Air Force, in the absence of its inhabitants, warned.
