Tanuf (Arabic: X), population X, is a village near Nizwa in Oman. It is noted for its seasonal waterfalls and for ruins created by British bombing during the Imamate rebellion in the 1950s. [1] [2]
It is the site of a mineral water factory.
Shamelessly lifted from Nizwa: [Tanuf is] known for its seasonal waterfalls. Waterfalls in Tanuf are unique to the area within the steep mountain sides and the water reservoir. Tanuf with its dam, waterfalls, wadi and falaj is a very popular picnic destination during rain time.

On 27 July 1957 the Venoms attacked Izki, Nizwa and Tanuf.
Suleiman's car, no doubt a product of Saudi largesse, was later destroyed by a British air strike on Tanuf. A 1953 Chevrolet is still recognizable in the rubble of the village.
