Also called Khatam Al Bu Shamis. A tract dividing the region of Dhafrah on the

on the north-east. Khatam is apparently a compact district of somewhat circular
shape with an average diameter of about 40 miles ; its centre appears to lie 65 or 70
miles south-east by east of Abu Dhabi town and 45 miles south-west of the Baraimi
0 ;Tu . is covered with sand dunes, but it bears some Ghaf trees, besides shrubs
of Abal, Arta, Markh and Ghadha. There are a number of wells generally varying in
depth from 1 to 2 fathoms, some of which contain good and the others indilfer-
ent water. Khatam appears to be a meeting ground of the Bedouina of the Bani Yas
Manaslr, and Na im tribes ; and it may perhaps be regarded, at the present time, as in!
eluded m the sphere of the Shaikh of Abu Dhabi, whose personal influence is predominant
there. In the hot weather Khatam is deserted.
