Al Haffah

Al Ḩāffah or simply Ḩāfa is a coastal village in Dhofar Governorate, in southwestern Oman. It lies just south of Salalah.

History
In 1908, J. G. Lorimer recorded Al Haffah in his Gazetteer of the Persian Gulf, noting its location as being about 2 miles east of Salalah on the coast, along which it extends quarter of a mile. He wrote: "Village of 150 houses of stone and mud; some however are uninhabited. About 25 families are low caste fishermen; the rest are Al Kathir Arabs of the Shanafirah section. There are a few coconut gardens. There are no manufactures."
