Al Kamil W'al Wafi is a region in the South Al Sharqiyah Governorate that is surrounded by the wilayats of Wadi Bani Khalid, Sur, and Jaalan Bani Bu Hassan to the north, west, and south, respectively.[2] About 40 clusters make up its population centers, including Al-Kamil, Al-Wafi, Tawi Hatim, Tahwa, and Tawi.
The wilayats' symbol is made up of two towers and a tree. The two towers stand in for the important and crucial role that residents play in protecting the city and village, while the Al Sidr tree symbolizes the gathering spot where people congregated to share thoughts and opinions.[2]
