Oman
Oman.on.line - Oman, on the southern end of the Arabian peninsula, has been on the trade routes of civilization since 3000 B.C. Frankincense, vital to the religious rites of almost every civilization in the ancient world, was a rare item found only in Oman and a few other places in the world. This commodity became the lifeblood of the country and was its primary source of income for over 4,000 years. This site offers information on current tourism, business development, and culture of this land and its peoples.
Sultanate of Oman - While there is evidence of civilization in Oman as far back as 5000 years ago, little is known about its history before the Islamic culture took hold around A.D. 800. Recently, Oman has been using satellite technology to locate archaelogical sites to help in discovering its past. Look for an extensive list of categories under the Oman Book section.
