Ghul, also known as Wadi Ghul, is an abandoned village located in the northwest of Al Hamra, Oman. The site is situated near the impressive geological feature known as the 'Omani Grand Canyon' and close to Jebel Shams, Oman's highest mountain peak. While the text does not provide detailed archaeological information such as specific structures or periods of occupation, the mention of an abandoned village suggests the presence of domestic and habitation structures, indicative of human settlement. The site's primary significance may lie in its geographical context and its potential to provide insights into past human adaptation to this unique landscape. Further archaeological investigation could reveal more about the village's historical significance, including its age, cultural affiliations, and reasons for abandonment.
