The '''Sultanate of Oman''' ([[Standard Arabic]]: '''<big> سلطنة عُمان </big>''', ''{{unicode|Salṭanat ʿUmān}}'', {{IPA2|sʌltˤʌnʌt ʕʊmæːn}}) is a [[country]] in [[Southwest Asia]], on the southeast coast of the [[Arabian Peninsula]]. It borders the [[United Arab Emirates]] in the northwest, [[Saudi Arabia]] in the west, and [[Yemen]] in the southwest. The coast is formed by the [[Arabian Sea]] in the south and east, and the [[Gulf of Oman]] in the northeast. The country also contains [[Madha]], an [[enclave]] enclosed by the [[United Arab Emirates]], and [[Musandam]], an exclave also separated by Emirati territory.

==History==
{{main|History of Oman}}
[[Image:Grand Hyatt in Muscat.JPG|thumb|left|300px|Oman's capital of [[Muscat]]]]
[[Islam]] had reached Oman within the prophet [[Muhammad]]'s lifetime. By the middle of the eighth century C.E., Omanis were practicing a unique brand of the faith, [[Ibadhism]], which remains a majority sect only in Oman. Ibadhism has been characterized as "moderate conservatism," with tenets that are a mixture of both austerity and tolerance.

The [[Portugal|Portuguese]] occupied [[Muscat, Oman|Muscat]] for a 140-year period (1508–1648), arriving a decade after [[Vasco da Gama]] discovered the seaway to [[India]]. In need of an outpost to protect their sea lanes, the Europeans built up and fortified the city, where remnants of their colonial architectural style still remain.

The [[Ottomans]] drove out the Portuguese, but were pushed out themselves about a century later (1741) by the leader of a Yemeni tribe, who began the current line of ruling sultans. After one last, brief invasion a few years later by Persia, Oman was free for good of foreign-occupying powers.
[[Image:Oman-map.gif|right|200px|thumb|Map of Oman]]
Isolated from their Arab neighbors by the desert, the Omanis became an economic power in the early 1800s, largely by using their position on the [[Indian Ocean]] and seafaring knowledge gained from the Portuguese to gain access to foreign lands. They took control of the coasts of present-day [[Iran]] and [[Pakistan]], colonized [[Zanzibar]] and [[Kenya]]n seaports, brought back enslaved Africans, and sent boats trading as far as the [[Malay Peninsula]].

At this time, the country became known as [[Muscat and Oman]]*, denoting two centers of power, not just the capital and the interior but also the sultan and the [[imam]], the Ibadhist spiritual leader.

The [[United Kingdom|British]] slowly brought about a collapse of Muscat and Oman's "empire" by the end of the nineteenth century without use of force. Through gradual encroachment on its overseas holdings economically and politically, they caused Oman to retreat to its homeland. In time Britain held such sway in Muscat and Oman itself that it became in effect, and later in fact, a British protectorate.

Having control of the country's military, the British helped subdue rebel tribesmen in the 1950s, driving most into Yemen. But the sultan ran a repressive regime, with laws forbidding numerous activities, including the building and even repair of his subjects' own homes without permission. In 1970, almost certainly with British backing, he was overthrown by his son, the present ruler, [[Qaboos bin Said Al Said]], and the country declared independence the following year as the Sultanate of Oman.

Qaboos is generally regarded as a [[Enlightened absolutism|benevolent absolute ruler]], who has improved the country economically and socially. Oman has maintained peaceful ties on the Arabian Peninsula ever since ending another tribal rebellion in the southwest in 1982 by forging a treaty with Yemen.
Oman's oil revenue has been consistently invested in the national infrastructure, particularly roads, schools, hospitals, and utilities. More than ever, the country is poised to take advantage of its strategic trade location on the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf to further its economic growth and role in the world.

Except for those who travel to remote Middle East locales, the country has seldom been in the public eye other than for the use of its military bases by [[U.S.]] forces in recent years. American and British bombing raids were launched in 1991 from Oman against [[Iraq]] in the [[Gulf War]]. A decade later, U.S. forces stationed there were involved in raids against [[Afghanistan]] and [[Osama bin Laden]].

==Politics==
{{main|Politics of Oman}}
[[Image:Oman-Muscat-16-Sultans-Palace-2.JPG|thumb|The Sultan's Palace in Muscat]]
Chief of state and government is the hereditary sultān, [[Qaboos of Oman|{{unicode|Qabūs ibn Saˤīd as-Saˤīd}}]], who appoints a cabinet called the "Diwans" to assist him. In the early 1990s, the sultan instituted an elected advisory council, the ''Majlis ash-Shura'', though few Omanis were eligible to vote.
[[Universal suffrage]] for those over 21 was instituted on [[4 October]] [[2003]]. Over 190,000 people (74% of those registered) voted to elect the 83 seats. Two women were elected to seats. The country today has two women ministers.

The sultan functions as an [[Political absolutism|absolute]] ruler.

==Subdivisions==
[[Image:Oman subdivisions.png|right|240px]]
{{main|Subdivisions of Oman}}
Oman is divided into four [[governorate]]s (''[[muhafazah]]'') and five regions (''[[mintaqah|mintaqat]]''). These regions are subdivided into provinces (''[[wilayah|wilayat]]''). The governorates and regions are:

===Governorates===
*[[Muscat (governorate)|Masqat]] ([[Muscat, Oman|Muscat]])
*[[Musandam]]
*[[Dhofar]]
*[[Al Buraymi]] (created 15/10/2006)

===Regions===
*[[Ad Dakhiliyah Region|Ad Dakhiliyah]]
*[[Al Batinah Region|Al Batinah]]
*[[Al Wusta Region (Oman)|Al Wusta]]
*[[Ash Sharqiyah Region (Oman)|Ash Sharqiyah]]
*[[Az Zahirah]] ([[Ad Dhahirah]])

==Geography==
[[Image:Oman-Wadi-Shab-34.jpg|thumb|280px|left|Wadi Shab]]
<!-- Image with unknown copyright status removed: [[Image:Wahiba Sands1.jpg|thumb|280px|right|The Sharqiyah Sands. A popular tourist attraction]] -->
{{main|Geography of Oman}}
A vast desert plain covers most of central Oman, with mountain ranges along the north ([[Jebel Akhdar (Oman)|Jebel Akhdar]]) and southeast coast, where the country's main cities are also located: the capital city [[Muscat, Oman|Muscat]], [[Matrah]] and [[Sur, Oman|Sur]] in the north, and [[Salalah]] in the south. Oman's climate is hot and dry in the interior and humid along the coast. During past millennia Oman was covered by ocean. Fossilized shells exist in great numbers in areas of the desert up to 50 miles from the modern coastline.

===Exclaves and enclaves===
The peninsula of [[Musandam]] (Musandem), which has a strategic location on the [[Strait of Hormuz]], is separated from the rest of Oman by the [[United Arab Emirates]] and is thus an [[exclave]].

Oman has one other exclave, inside UAE territory, known as [[Wadi-e-Madhah]]. It is located halfway between the Musandam Peninsula and the rest of Oman [http://geosite.jankrogh.com/oman.htm]. Belonging to [[Musandam]] governorate, it covers approximately 75 [[square kilometre]]s <!--Format per WP:MOSNUM-->(29&nbsp;[[square mile|sq&nbsp;mi]]). The boundary was settled in 1969. The north-east corner of Madha is closest to the [[Khorfakkan]]-[[Fujairah]] road, barely ten metres (30&nbsp;[[foot (unit of length)|ft]]) away. Within the exclave is an UAE enclave called [[Nahwa]], belonging to the Emirate of Sharjah. It is about eight kilometres (five&nbsp;[[mile|mi]]) on a dirt track west of the town of New Madha. It consists of about forty houses with its own clinic and telephone exchange [http://geosite.jankrogh.com/nahwa.htm].

===Cyclone Gonu===
Oman was hit by [[Cyclone Gonu]] on June 6. Large areas in the capital area region in the Governorate of Muscat and in Amerat and Quriyat were severely affected. Gonu first hit the southern city of Sur late on June 5, 2007. [http://www.freetheweek.com/223/223.01-48.pdf]

==Economy==
{{main|Economy of Oman}}
The economy of Oman is dominated by its dependence on [[crude oil]]. A joint venture called IPC drilled a number of dry holes from 1956 onwards though the logistics of doing this were extremely difficult due to the lack of transport infrastructure.

A lack of success, combined with worsening logistical problems and a glut of oil on the world market, led most of the partners to withdraw from the venture in 1960. Only [[Royal Dutch Shell|Royal Dutch/Shell]] and [[Partex]] opted to remain in Oman to continue the search for oil. They struck oil at [[Fahud]] in 1962 at a site just a few hundreds of metres from the last dry hole.

In June 1967, the [[Compagnie Française des Pétroles]] rejoined the partnership by taking over a 10% equity share from Partex, resulting in the following shareholding: Shell 85%, Compagnie Française des Pétroles 10% and Partex 5%. The company changed its name to Petroleum Development (Oman). Shortly followed by the first export of Omani oil on [[27 July]] [[1967]].

On [[1 January]] [[1974]] the Government of Oman acquired a 25% shareholding in the Petroleum Development (Oman); half a year later they increased it to 60%, backdated to the beginning of the year. As a result foreign shareholding in PD(O) was now made up of Royal Dutch/Shell (34%), Compagnie Française des Pétroles (now [[Total S.A.|Total]]) (4%) and Partex (2%).

In a Royal Decree of [[15 May]] [[1980]], the company was registered as a [[limited liability company]] (LLC) under the name [[Petroleum Development Oman]].

Today Oman produces around 700,000 [[Barrel (unit)|barrels]] (110,000 m³) of oil per day and there have been significant discoveries of [[natural gas]] and development of a [[liquefied natural gas]] terminal. Oil represents about 90% of Oman's exports.

The income generated was quickly deployed into building infrastructures of roads, schools, hospitals, water and electricity generating plants. All of this activity has made Oman a major success story for economic growth despite being the only oil-producing nation in the [[Middle East]] that is not a member of [[OPEC]].

Oman's economic performance improved significantly in 2000 due largely to the upturn in oil prices. The government is moving ahead with privatization of its utilities, the development of a body of commercial law to facilitate foreign investment, and increased budgetary outlays. Oman continues to liberalise its markets and joined the [[World Trade Organization]] in November 2000. [[Gross domestic product|GDP]] growth improved in 2001 despite the global economic slowdown.

On [[20 July]] [[2006]], the U.S. [[House of Representatives]] narrowly approved a [[US-Oman Free Trade Agreement]]. [http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2006/roll392.xml] Regarding labor rights, the Government of Oman made numerous commitments to revise its labor laws to satisfy Congressional concerns. With respect to the assertions that the Agreement threatened the ability of the United States Government to protect its essential national security, the Congressional Research Service prepared several papers explaining that such was not the case. A recent State Department report criticized Oman for not taking enough action to reduce human trafficking but also acknowledged that the country "is making significant efforts to do so." The treaty will immediately end all duties on trade in industrial and consumer goods and give American farmers duty-free access to Oman's market for 87% of their products. [http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,,-5964717,00.html] Proponents of the deal claim that the pact will help liberalise the Omani market and open it to U.S. goods. [http://www.ecattrade.com/issues/subsection.asp?id=47]

US President [[George W. Bush]] signed the bill into law on [[September 26]] 2006 [http://www.timesofoman.com/newsdetails.asp?newsid=35926&pn=local].

==Demographics==
{{main|Demographics of Oman}}
Oman is the world's easternmost Arabian country. The majority of Omanis are [[Arab]]s, although there are sizable [[Pakistani]] [[Baloch]] and [[Swahili people|Swahili]] minorities. As in most other of the smaller, oil-rich Persian Gulf Arab countries, a large number of foreign workers live here, mostly from [[India]] and other parts of [[Pakistan]]. The official language is [[Arab language|Arabic]], but the minorities speak their own languages. A non-Arabic [[Semitic]] language [[Bathari]] is spoken in Dhofar.

[[Islam]] is the predominant religion, mostly [[Ibadi|Ibādiyya]] Muslims, with a [[Sunni]] population in Dhofar, and a [[Shi'a]] population near Muscat. Exact numbers are not certain. The largest religious minority are the [[Hindu]]s, who account for 13% of the population.<ref>[http://www.atlapedia.com/online/countries/ohiman.htm Atlapedia]</ref>

==Tourism==
[[Image:Ras-AlHad-Beach.jpg|thumb|280px|right|R'as-al-Hadd Beach]]
[[Image:Bustan-palace.jpg|thumb|280px|left|Al-Bustan Palace Hotel]]

Oman is known for its popular tourist attractions. [[Wadi]]'s deserts, beaches, and mountains are areas which make Oman unique to its neighboring [[Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf|GCC]] nations (Wadis in particular). Jebel Shams is Oman's tallest mountain, highest point, and is a popular destination for camping. Most of the major malls are located in [[Muscat, Oman|Muscat]], the capital. The largest mall in the country is the Muscat City Centre which was built by Majid Futtaim, an Emirati business man. Other popular tourist activities include sand skiing in the desert, mountain-climbing, camel racing, and camping.

The Muscat Festival is usually held at the beginning of every year. During this event, traditional dances are held, temporary theme parks open, and concerts take place. Another popular event is the Khareef Festival, which is similar to Muscat Festival; however it is held in August in Salalah, [[Dhofar]]. During this latter event, mountains are packed as a result of the cool breeze weather during that period of time which rarely occurres in Muscat.

==Culture==
{{main|Culture of Oman}}
{{seealso|Islam in Oman|Music of Oman|Cinema of Oman}}

Even though Oman is a modern country, western influences are quite restricted. The [[Ibadi|Ibādī]] form of Islam is also conservative like [[Sunni Islam]] and [[Shi'a Islam]]. About 75% of Oman is Muslim. As is the case with most Middle Eastern countries, alcohol is only available in some hotels and few restaurants.

Although Arabic is Oman's official language, there are native speakers of different dialects, as well as Balochi, or offshoots of [[Southern Arabian]], a Semitic language only distantly related to Arabic. Swahili is also widely spoken in the country due to the historical relations between Oman and [[Zanzibar]]. The dominant indigenous language is a dialect of Arabic and the country has also adopted [[English (language)|English]] as a second language. Almost all signs and writings appear in both Arabic and English

Oman is famous for its [[khanjar]] knives, which are curved daggers worn during holidays as part of ceremonial dress. Today traditional clothing is worn by most Omani men. They wear an ankle-length, collarless robe called a dishdasha that buttons at the neck with a tassel hanging down. Traditionally this tassel would be dipped in perfume. Today the tassel is merely a traditional part of the dishdasha.

Women wear [[hijab]] and [[abaya]]. Some women cover their faces and hands, but most do not. The abaya is a traditional dress and it is current having different styles. The Sultan has forbidden the covering of faces in public office. On holidays, such as [[Eid]], the women wear traditional dress, which is often very brightly colored and consists of a mid-calf length tunic over pants.

A very important part of Omani culture is hospitality. If invited into an Omani house, a visitor is likely to be greeted with a bowl of [[dates]], qahwa (coffee with [[cardamom]] - standard Arabic قهوة)and fruit. The coffee is served fairly weak in a small cup, which should be shaken after three servings to show that you have finished. The dates are in lieu of sugar. Halwa and other sweets are often given at celebrations such as Eids.
