About Oman

The Sultanate of Oman is an independent country in the southeastern quarter of the Arabian Peninsula. It is bordered by the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said came into power in 1970 and has been responsible for what is widely termed as the country’s ‘Renaissance’. During the forty years of his reign, Oman has undergone a remarkable transformation from a closed, inward-looking and under-developed society to one that that is both proud of its heritage yet modern and progressive in outlook. The population is educated to a high standard and Oman’s infrastructure rivals that of neighbouring Gulf countries. Muscat is the capital of Oman and is situated on the coast in the northeast of the country.
