Al-Qābil (Arabic: ٱلْقَابِل) is a village in Al Buraimi Governorate (formerly Ad Dhahirah Region), in northwestern Oman. A small agricultural village, Al Qabil lies on Highway 21 across the border from Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates. The village lies south of Mazyad and Al-Zahir, and west of Hisn Mazyad. Described as a "prosperous market village", Al-Qabil lies at a curve in the road before "descending into the Sa'dah basin from the west".[1] The village is said to contain populations of Al Bu-Shamis group of the Na'im who moved into the village from across the border with the Emirates.[2] Wadi Sarin is said to flow nearby.[3]
