    The Geography and Climate of Oman
    The Sultanate of Oman lies at the south-western edge of the Arabian peninsula with borders covering approximately 300,000 kms and is sparsely populated. The coastline runs for some 1,700 kms by the Arabian Sea through the Gulf of Oman to the Strait of Hormuz. The distance from the capital, Muscat, on the northern coast to the southern city of Salalah is about 1,300 kms. Geographical features of Oman include a unique geology with spectacular mountain ranges in both the north and south, reaching a height of 3,075 metres at Jebel Akhdar just north-west of Muscat. There are beautiful, unspoiled beaches with white sands stretching for miles and plenty of opportunity for scuba diving, snorkelling and swimming. Nature-lovers can observe a variety of birds and the famous green turtles at Ras al Hadd south of Sur on the furthermost tip of the Oman coast. The mountain areas abound with a network of wadis with lovely green alpine pools, often shaded by date palms. The golden dunes of the Wahiba Sands are popular for camping under the stars. The famous Rub al Khali, the Empty Quarter, covers the south-western part of the Interior. In the south eastern corner of the Sultanate, near the Yemeni border on the Arabian Sea, lies the garden city of Salalah with coconut and banana groves, watered by monsoons. The winter climate is pleasantly warm with sunny skies almost every day and average daytime temperatures of 25 degrees Centigrade. In the hottest months, midday temperatures can reach 50 degrees and above, but everyone adapts with the help of air conditioning. Except for the summer monsoons in Salalah, rainfall is confined to a few days in the later winter months.

    http://www.salamiran.org/IranInfo/General/Geography/
    Location
    Iran is situated in south-western Asia and borders the three CIS states, the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the Republic of Turkmenistan, as well as the Caspian Seas to the north, Turkey and Iraq to the west, the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman to the south and Pakistan and Afghanistan to the east.
    LANDSCAPE
    A series of massive, heavily eroded mountain ranges surround Iran's high interior basin. Most of the country is above 1,500 feet, one-sixth of it over 6,500 high. In sharp contrast are the coastal regions outside the mountain ring. In the north, the 400-mile strip along the Caspian Sea, never more than 70 miles wide and frequently narrowing to 10, falls sharply from the 10,000-foot summit to 90 feet below sea level. In the south, the land drops away from a 2,000 foot plateau, backed by a rugged escarpment three times as high, to meet the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.
    Mountains The Zagros range stretches from the border with the Republic of Armenia in the north-west to the Persian Gulf, and then eastward into Baluchistan. As it moves southward, it broadens into a 125-mile-wide band of parallel, alternating mountains lying between the plains of Mesopotamia and the great central plateau of Iran. It is drained on the west by streams that cut deep, narrow gorges and water fertile valleys. The land is extremely hard, difficult to access, and populated largely by pastoral nomads.

    Glimpses of the Historical Geography of the Al Ain Region, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
    by Abdullah Hussain Dawood What most impresses hundreds of visitors to the Eastern Province of Abu Dhabi State (Al Ain town and neighboring villages) is the wonderful state of preservation of its old forts, buildings and monuments. Within the region of Buraimi, they find an example of a city that has grown naturally and harmoniously. Since 6 th August 1966, when His Highness Shaikh Zaid bin Sultan al Nahayyan became the Ruler of the State, indeed life in the region has changed considerably, but certain buildings of architectural and historical importance have been preserved and carefully restored. Old houses and unimportant buildings have been replaced by new ones tastefully designed to harmonize with their surroundings. Thus the visitor today finds a city and villages of unique charm which, due to their fertile land and abundance of water supply, are well known for their agricultural potential. Turning from the recent scene, an attempt now follows to piece together the scattered information found in the Arab authors and other relevant sources on the general geography of the region down to the sixteenth century.

    http://imto.humnet.unipi.it/khor_rori.html
    Since 1997 a Mission of the University of Pisa
    The main goal of the expedition, directed by Alessandra Avanzini, is the study of the history of the region of Khor Rori and the systematic excavation of the ancient port of Sumhuram.
    The port of Sumhuram (late 4th BC-4th AD) represents without any doubt the most important pre-islamic settlement in the Dhofar region; founded by the Hadramawt
    The last IMTO campaign (2004) confirmed that the city of Sumhuram had got a longer story than we thought previously, and today it is possible to affirm that Sumhuram was certainly the first Arabian city, in the historical period, to weave sea relations with India.
    Otherwise the great quantity of iron and bronze which have been discovered, as well as the probable presence of workshop for metals, suggest that the city was a very important centre also in the an internal trade towards south-eastern Arabia and the northern coasts of Oman which was rich in copper.
    The city looks out over the Indian Ocean and it is near to the region which produced some of the best frankincense in ancient times. It was also the easternmost outpost of the Hadramawt kingdom on the trade route between the Mediterranean, the Gulf area and India.

      Oman's History
      T he Sultanate of Oman, located on the Southeastern tip of the Arabian peninsula, was all but isolated from the outside world until the 1970's. However, Oman has a rich and ancient history as a trading empire whose influence spread well beyond its boundaries in the Middle East. The current government's economic plan emphasizes its rich history by expanding the country's small, but vibrant tourism sector. The tourism sector is growing within the Omani economy as visitors come to see Oman's archeological treasures and to enjoy its rich natural beauty and wildlife. To understand why Oman is a growing tourist attraction we must first examine its past and the history of its trading empire to see how Oman's history is influencing the current government's policies toward tourism.
      O man has a rich trading history to go along with its ancient civilization as recent archeological survey's have dated settlements from as early as 8,000 years ago. This early civilzation was based on fishing and agricultural systems fueled by monsoon rains. Many of the crops grown today such as bananas, dates, and wheat have roots in these early agricultural systems. As early as 5,000 years ago the mineral wealth of Oman became evident as copper mines and smelters have been identified from excavations near the modern city of Sohar. Around 200 B.C. ships from Oman traded with Mesopotamia and India in products such as copper, building materials, and fine marble. From its earliest days then Oman presented a picture of an industrializing and flourishing society.

In the first phase of the project, Oman's Ministry of Education used the Oracle-based OmanTel system to send high school student exam grades via short message service (SMS). The new OmanTel service has thus far facilitated more than 200,000 student grade requests via SMS, and OmanTel is promoting the use of interactive information services to other ministries as part of the country's e-government efforts. OmanTel will also use its Oracle infrastructure to create Internet portals that enable both pre- and post-paid GSM customers to access account balances and other information through a variety of channels, including voice, SMS, and the Internet. OmanTel has developed its new SMS infrastructure using Oracle9i Database with Real Application Clusters, Oracle9i Application Server, and Oracle9i Developer Suite. The telecoms provider has built the necessary applications in-house, drawing on the expertise of its predominately Omani national development team.
