It lies on the Tropic of Cancer. As a gateway between the Indian Ocean, East Africa and the Arabian Gulf, Oman’s location has always been strategically important. Oman overlooks the Arabian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman, and the Arabian Sea. Historically, it dominated regional commodity trading. Today, it has modernised its ports to adapt to the containerised shipping that is transforming the movement of consumer goods and commodities around the world. Lying on the south-east corner of the Arabian Peninsula, Oman has a 1,700 km coastline extending from the narrow Strait of Hormuz that separates Arabia from Iran in the north to the southern border with the Republic of Yemen. The country’s climate is varied, with humid coastal areas and a hot, dry desert interior. Its highest mountains, at just over 3,000 metres, enjoy a moderate climate all year round. Although rainfall

The capital is Muscat. Oman comprises a coastal plain and an interior region of hills and desert. Dates, limes, nuts, and vegetables are cultivated in the north and livestock are raised in the southwest, but the major product is oil. Natural gas production and copper mining were developed in the early 1980s to diversify the economy. The population is predominantly Muslim Arab, with Pakistani, Indian, and Zanzibari minorities. History Occupied by Portugal in 1508 and Turkey in 1659, Oman came under Ahmad ibn Said of Yemen, founder of the present royal line, in 1741. It has had close ties with Britain since the 19th cent. Qabus bin Said overthrew the strict regime of his father, Sultan Said bin Timur, in 1970, instituted a program of liberalization and modernization, and put down (1975) leftist guerrilla forces operating in Dhofar prov., in the south. In 1980 the U.S. obtained the use of ports and airfields in Oman in exchange for economic and military aid. In 1981 Oman joined other Arab Persian Gulf nations in founding the Gulf Cooperation Council. The country opened its bases to international coalition forces against Iraq in the 1991 Persian Gulf War and to U.S. forces mounting strikes against Afghanistan and Osama bin Laden in 2001. In 1996 the sultan announced a new basic law that provided for a legislature with limited powers and guaranteed basic civil liberties for Omani citizens. In 2003 the lower house of the advisory council was freely elected for the first time.
