Districts (wilayat) constitute the second and final administrative level in Oman's territorial organization, with 61 districts operating beneath the country's governorate structure. Each district functions as the primary unit for local governance and public service delivery, administered by a wali (governor) appointed by the Ministry of Interior. Districts handle essential administrative functions including civil registration, municipal services, local dispute resolution, and implementation of national policies at the community level. The wali serves as the direct representative of the central government, maintaining order, overseeing development projects, and coordinating between local populations and higher authorities. This administrative framework enables the Sultanate to manage diverse geographic regions while maintaining centralized oversight, with districts varying significantly in size, population, and economic character across Oman's varied landscape.
