Oman, the second largest
country in Arabia with an area of 300,000
square km, occupies the south eastern part
of the Arabian Peninsula.To the North, it
borders the Strait of Hormuz, and to the
East the coastline stretches 1700 km along
the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea to the
Yemeni border. In the West, Oman borders
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates
along the eastern fringe the Rub Al Khali
(also known as the 'Empty Quarter'). The
northern region of the Musandam Peninsula is
separated from the rest of the country for
70 km by the UAE. The highest point in Oman
is Jebel Shams at 3010 metres.
The most notable feature of Oman is the
range of imposing mountains running North
West to South East across the Northern third
of the country. These mountains are the
result of tectonic forces which pushed them
up from ocean beds some 800 million years
ago. The 1700 km long coastline is a
showcase of varying terrain from the deep
fjords in the Musandam, long sand beaches
between Sohar and Muscat, mangrove lagoons,
coral reefs, rocky islets and coves from
Muscat to Sur around Ra's Al Hadd, Eastern
most point of the Arabian peninsula to
Salalah.
Muscat, the official capital of Oman, is
only a small part of a larger grouping of
cities and towns strung some 40kms along the
coast of the Gulf of Oman, which is known
locally as the "Capital Area" or the "Muscat
Municipality." Never much deeper than 3 or 4
kms, this string of towns forms a sort of
necklace sandwiched between the sea to the
north and a very rocky, primeval-looking
range of barren mountains to the south.
Despite its ceremonial position as capital,
the neighboring cities of Muttruh, with its
superb corniche encirling a charming bay,
and Ruwi, the traditional commercial center
of the area, are both much more important.

as the link for a
large part of the
country. Today,
Nizwa is a diverse
prosperous place
with numerous
agricultural,
historical and
recreational
aspects. Nizwa is a
center for date
growing and is the
market place for the
area.
The green mountains and beautiful coast can only do so much. Nature did its part. Isn’t time that we did something too? Governments job is to provide the infrastructure the city needs. It’s the private sectors and investors turn. Restaurants, malls, parks, worldwide standard hotels ( 10 year old apartment building don’t count for tourist accommodation nor does renting ur house during the season!).
