Geography, Climate and Population Persian Gulf States Table of Contents Geography Oman is located in the southeastern quarter of the Arabian Peninsula and, according to official estimates, covers a total land area of approximately 300,000 square kilometers; foreign observer estimates, however, are about 212,000 square kilometers, roughly the size of the state of Kansas. The land area is composed of varying topographic features: valleys and desert account for 82 percent of the land mass; mountain ranges, 15 percent; and the coastal plain, 3 percent. The sultanate is flanked by the Gulf of Oman, the Arabian Sea, and the Rub al Khali (Empty Quarter) of Saudi Arabia, all of which contributed to Oman's isolation. Historically, the country's contacts with the rest of the world were by sea, which not only provided access to foreign lands but also linked the coastal towns of Oman. The Rub al Khali, difficult to cross even with modern desert transport, formed a barrier between the sultanate and the Arabian interior. The Al Hajar Mountains, which form a belt between the coast and the desert from the Musandam Peninsula (Ras Musandam) to the city of Sur at Oman's easternmost point, formed another barrier. These geographic barriers kept the interior of Oman free from foreign military encroachments. Natural features divide the country into seven distinct areas: Ruus al Jibal, including the northern Musandam Peninsula; the Al Batinah coastal plain; the Muscat-Matrah coastal area; the Oman interior, comprising Al Jabal al Akhdar (Green Mountain), its foothills, and desert fringes; the barren coastline south to Dhofar; Dhofar region in the south; and the offshore island of Masirah.

Welcome to Asiatour.com - your one-stop source for travel guides on most Asian countries and some African destinations. H O M E Sexual relationships If you are traveling to this country, you may be interested in sexual relationships with locals, and no, I do not mean the services of prostitutes or other commercial providers. While you can meet citizen interested in sex accidentally, the chances of success are not particularly high if you are there only for a limited period of time (as I said: no prostitutes). On the other hand, they often are sexually attracted to foreign people. For young women, especially in the big cities, it is chic to have a Western boyfriend. So, there must be a trick to overcome the time-consuming "accidental", and to link more effectively the sexual interests of foreign visitors with those of locals. Try the Internet. Or, more to the point: try www.AdultfriendsFinder.com . The service lists a good number of residents explicitly interested in non-commercial sexual relationships. While there are more males on the search than females, there are indeed an amazing number of women using the service. It is truly amazing how popular www.AdultfriendsFinder.com

Welcome ! Introduction Mission Location ... Site Map THE SULTANATE OF OMAN - GEOGRAPHY AL BAHRI STREET - MUSCAT AL-BUSTAN PALACE HOTEL The southern province, the governorate of Dhofar is dominated by a range of coastal mountains known as the Dhofar Mountain Chain. The height of the Dhofar Mountain Chain helps to capture valuable moisture during the summer monsoon season, which impacts only the southern region. The character of the mountains in the south is quite different to those in the north. During the summer monsoon the southern mountains turn green with vegetation whose roots help delay the effects of erosion resulting in a soft rolling landscape more akin to central Africa than the Middle East. As in the north, a narrow fertile coastal plain lies between the mountains and the sea at whose centre lies the southern city of Salalah, surrounded by lush vegetable farms and coconut groves. The governorate of Musandam, projecting into the Straits of Hormuz, the enclave of Madha and numerous islands complete a country of great diversity of terrain and stunning natural beauty.
