CONCLUDING REMARKS.
The two tribes who reside in the part of Oman visited, are the Beni
Kaab and Beni Kuttub ; the latter a Bedouin Tribe, without any fixed
place of residence, numbering about 600 men. The Beni Kaab inhabit
that part of the country between Gibul YifF and Hurmullioh ; they are
estimated at 600 men.
The road from Shargali to Brymee is difficult, while that from Sohar
to Brymee may be considered good. Plenty of water the whole way ;
forage for camels abundant, but none for horses.
