Oman : the essential guide to customs & culture
Nowell, Simone2024
Books
The Sultanate of Oman, long regarded as one of the more mysterious countries of the Arabian Peninsula, is finally getting more of the attention it so deserves. An ancient land with a rich history and dramatic landscapes, Oman was largely cut off from the modern world until the accession to the throne of Sultan Qaboos in 1970. Since then this peaceful country has developed slowly but deliberately, placing a strong emphasis on retaining its cultural heritage while moving into the hi-tech era. This guide opens the door to this fascinating and complex country, where traditional values coexist cheerfully with all the trappings of modern life.
