Haima, Oman
Haima , is a town in the central Oman.
It is the capital of the central region of Oman called Al Wusta Governorate.
Permanent settlement began after a team of oil explorers sunk a water well there. This well, along with another dug in al-Ajaiz, became the first permanent water sources in Jiddat il-Harasiis. The well in Haima was used less than that in al-Ajaiz on account of the poor grazing lands surrounding it.
In 1982 a school for boys and later one for girls was opened in Haima. Families from the Harasiis tribe have increasingly settled in this location while schools are in session.Climate
Haima has a hot desert climate.
