Panoramica
Baqal (Arabic: ديرة البقال, romanized: Al Baqqāl) is a small agricultural and livestock town, located in the northeast of the U.A.E., in the Hajar Mountains of the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. The town extends along a small plateau, at the foot of a hill, at about 860 m (2,820 ft), on the limit of the drainage divide between the drainage basin of Wadi Naqab and Wadi Nahela, very close to Jabal Baqal (1,026 metres (3,366 feet)). To the southeast, the town stands on the cliff that forms the right side of the riverbed of the Wadi Baqal, a tributary of the Wadi Nahela, which descends from the northwest slope of Jabal Harf (1,420 m), very close to the village of Tala, and which as it passes through Baqal forms a 90º bend to continue its course towards the south-southwest. The town has about 50 houses, many of them rebuilt and renovated following a traditional style, and numerous terraces supported by dry stone walls, which allow water and soil to be retained, intended mainly for planting wheat and barley. Sono inoltre presenti più canali per la raccolta e il deflusso dell'acqua verso le cisterne, alcuni ovili e altri edifici. A few years ago, construction of a dirt road of almost 4 km began, linking the town with the dirt road that runs through the Wadi Naqab, providing access by all-terrain vehicles, but the work was not completed. Currently, it is only possible to reach Baqal, or transport provisions, construction elements, household goods, or other supplies, on foot or with donkey trains. Il sentiero da Wadi Naqab a Baqal e Tala è una popolare destinazione escursionistica.
