Al-Bāţinah (Arabic: ٱلْبَاطِنَة)[1] was one of the regions (Mintaqat) of Oman. On 28 October 2011, Al-Batinah Region was bifurcated into Al Batinah North Governorate and Al Batinah South Governorate.[2][3][4]
The region occupied an important location on the coast of Gulf of Oman. It laid between Khatmat Malahah in the north and Ras al-Hamra in the south, and confined between Al-Hajar Mountains in the west and the Gulf of Oman in the east.
