Kumzar: The Most Isolated Village in the Far North of Oman


For 500 years, the villagers of Kumzar have inhabited this region, where most of the population lives in a semi-nomadic way. In autumn, winter and spring they fish and live in the village of Kumzar. The Kumzari people make a living by catching fish that live in the bay for nine months of the year.

Separated by a rocky period of one hundred kilometers from the main territory of the country of Oman, a small village called Agung Besar became a very isolated area so that the people who lived and inhabited this village, developed their own language and culture, a concert village located in the center and northernmost province of the Sultanate. Oman is hidden in a narrow mountain gap and is located on the coastline with a position facing directly to the open sea.

The geographical character of the concert village is characterized by large rock formations that make vegetation almost impossible to grow in this area, which is unique even though it is located in a very remote location and can only be accessed by speed boat, for one hour or two and a half hours by sailing boat from the nearest town to the village. Gumelar has about three thousand inhabitants.

Most of them have kinship ties, the average family living in this village has between five and six children, which causes the birth rate to grow rapidly with a population of around three hundred people per year, for five hundred million villagers Concerts have inhabited this region where most of the population lives in a semi-nomadic way.

In autumn winter and spring they fish and live in the gumelar village my people make a living by catching fish that live in the bay for nine months of the year, but when summer comes when the temperature in the bay rises to fifty degrees Celsius , most of them left the kata village to settle in a nearby port town where they could harvest dates and own a home.

Both of them in daily communication strongly support the use of everyday legal language which is a mixture of ancient Persian and Arabic, the unique geographical conditions of the concert which are located between the thin mountain walls on three sides and the sea on the other have shaped not only the language but also the way of people. the person interprets the world around them.

The houses in this village are built very close together, the only gap between the crowded houses is the drainage canal, the houses are made of stone and have a small courtyard and roof of data stone, the whole village is surrounded by high mountains on all sides except the open part. facing the sea which gives access to the water and is where most of the daily activities.

At night there is not much that can be done in my village of Mizan because in this village there are only two restaurants, three teuku and two mosques, but even though it is very remote geographically, the concert village can be said to be very independent, they have schools, hospitals and even desalination factories.
