Regional Subdivision Review before 2007[edit]

Until October 2006, two more former wilayat (Provinces) were part of this region: Al Buraymi and Mahdha. Al Buraimi Governorate was created from those two wilayats in October, 2006, as an new governorate. As well, a third wilaya (Province), of Al Sinaihah was created from rural parts of Al Buraymi and Mahdha.
