Ibra (Arabic: ابراء) is the second largest city in the Ash Sharqiyah Region of Oman. It is located about 140 km (1.5 hours) from Muscat and has a population estimated at 35,000 people.
Ibra is one of the oldest cities in Oman and was once a centre of trade, religion, education and art. The city acquired its importance as an important meeting point at the base of the Ash Sharqiya.
Historian do not agree on the origins of the name of the city. Some suggest it is derived from the Arabic verb (Arabic: ابراء للذنب) which means a purification of guilt.
Ibra predates the Prophet Muhammed's calling. The city contains many castles and old mousques.
Ibra has become a more modern city since 1970 under the reign of Sultan Qaboos. Improvements include connections to Muscat via a two-lane highway, which has increased tourism. Communications have been improved to include broadband access, and there is now a substantial hospital. Ibra provides three choices of higher education: Ibra College of Technology, Ibra Nursing Institute, and beginning in the fall of 2010, A’Sharqiyah University. There are now two hotels in Ibra, and tourism is promoted in the area.

Genres: Drama, Short,You run for cover
Stick your head in the sand
You deny you're wrong
Say you don't understand
The ways and means
Don't mean a thing with no green
And your, body of work
Ain't nobody to be seen
The only choice to make is
Paper or plastic
So ya, do something drastic
And ya make it fantastic
You keep on fishin' for
A way to succeed
It's the, only way
For the big dogs to eat
Just ride the wave
Everybody rave
Don't be a slave
To the things you crave
Temptation make you
Want the things you don't need
Buy them, boogie shoes
And spend to
Feed the greed
You spin the wheel
And play the numbers you feel
Bet them double zeroes
And you'll, be a hero
Just ride the wave
Everybody rave
Don't be a slave
To the things that you crave
