Oman is an Arab country on the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. Holding a strategically important position at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, the country shares land borders with the United Arab Emirates to the northwest, Saudi Arabia to the west, and Yemen to the southwest, and shares marine borders with Iran and Pakistan. The coast is formed by the Arabian Sea on the southeast and the Gulf of Oman on the northeast.
From the late 17th century, the Omani Sultanate was a powerful empire, vying with Portugal and Britain for influence in the Persian Gulfand Indian Ocean. Historically, Muscat was the principal trading port of the Persian Gulf region. Muscat was also among the most important trading ports of the Indian Ocean. Oman's official religion is Islam.
Oman is an absolute monarchy. The Sultan Qaboos bin Said al Said has been the hereditary leader of the country since 1970. Sultan Qaboos is the longest-serving current ruler in the Middle East, and fourth-longest current reigning monarch in the world.
At Aybut Al Auwal, in the Dhofar Governorate of Oman, a site was discovered in 2011 containing more than 100 surface scatters of stone tools, belonging to a regionally specific African lithic industry –the late Nubian Complex– known previously only from the northeast and Horn of Africa.
Dereaze, located in the city of Ibri, is the oldest known human settlement in the area, dating back as many as 8,000 years to the Late Stone Age. Archaeological remains have been discovered here from the Stone Age and the Bronze Age. Many such tribes settled in Oman, making a living by fishing, herding or stock breeding.
Sumerian tablets refer to a country called Magan or Makan, a name believed to refer to Oman's ancient copper mines. Mazoon, another name used for the region, is derived from the word muzn, which means heavy clouds which carry abundant water. The present-day name of the country, Oman, is believed to originate from the Arab tribes who migrated to its territory from the Uman region of Yemen.
From the 6th century BC to the arrival of Islam in the 7th century AD, Oman was controlled and/or influenced by three Persiandynasties: the Achaemenids, Parthians and Sassanids. The conversion of the Omanis is usually ascribed to Amr ibn al-As, who was sent by the Prophet Muhammad [PBUH] during the Expedition of Zaid ibn Haritha (Hisma).

Oman Film Clips - 1973 (video 2)
Films of Northern Oman and Dhofar taken between May 1973 and December 1973 by Captain Hugh Lockhart, Grenadier Guards, on secondment to Sultan’s Armed Forces. His diaries, After Lunch with Thesiger, are now in the Imperial War Museum and have been published as an E-book illustrated with photographs. The book is available on Amazon (Amazon UK link: Amazon US link: All proceeds go to SSAFA.
The Ricoh super 8 cine camera was bought May 1 1973 in Dubai airport.
In all there are 9 film clips (Videos 2-10) out of which two short documentaries, Oman the Awakening (Video 12) about Northern Oman, and War in Dhofar (Video 11) on the Hornbeam Line mainly, were professionally edited and formally viewed at the Oman Embassy in 1974. Oman the Awakening has a soundtrack by the editor. The ambassador originally talked about putting the films on Omani television, but nothing came of it. There were rumours that a German professional camera team had arrived meantime and produced documentaries to television standard.
Unfortunately, the editor did not keep the films in the original order and lost the shotlist , so some places have been left unnamed or maybe incorrectly named. Corrections are very welcome. Places definitely visited and filmed in Northern Oman are Rostaq, Hazm, Jebel Akdar, Nid, Nizwa, Ibri, Bidbid, Rosail and Muscat.

PM and Prince Charles in Oman to mark death of Sultan Qaboos
PM and Prince Charles in Oman to mark death of Sultan Qaboos
The critical importance of Oman to Britain’s post-Brexit foreign policy, which includes plans for a major naval base, has been underlined by the UK sending its most senior delegation to the commemoration ceremonies marking the death of the country’s sultan.
Sultan Qaboos bin Said died from cancer, and has been immediately replaced by his first cousin Haitham bin Tariq al-Said in what appears a smooth succession.
Boris Johnson, Prince Charles, the defence secretary, Ben Wallace, and the chief of defence staff, Gen Sir Nick Carter, all flew to Muscat to attend the first of three days of ceremonies. The Queen had met Qaboos many times over the years.
Government buildings in the UK were also instructed to fly flags at half mast as a mark of respect.
Although Oman only has a population of 5 million, its position on the southern coast of the Arabian peninsula overlooking the Gulf has given the country a strategic importance to the UK stretching back two centuries. Close to the strategic Strait of Hormuz waterway, Oman is openly described by defence officials as central to the UK’s projection ”east of Suez” in a post-Brexit foreign policy.
The seniority of the UK delegation is a reflection of Britain’s commitment to Oman and the importance of retaining UK defence capabilities in the country. Others present at the ceremonies included the Iranian foreign minister, Javad Zarif.
Last February the Ministry of Defence revealed it had gained access to the new Duqm Port complex south of Muscat with a dry dock capability able to accommodate submarines and the UK’s flagship, HMS Queen Elizabeth, which is the largest and most powerful warship ever built for the Royal Navy. The UK is also building a training exercise base, and the two counties conduct regular and expanding joint military exercises.
A British intelligence services communications hub is also reported to be based in Oman, but this has never been confirmed by the UK government.
British intelligence services played a major role in 1974 in a secret counter-insurgency to defeat the Sultan’s internal enemies. Senior figures in the British military such as Sir Jock Stirrup, a former air chief marshall, cut their teeth in the counter-insurgency. The royal family have repeatedly visited Oman, including Princess Diana and Prince Charles.
The sultan had no heirs, and the identity of Qaboos’ chosen successor was retained in a sealed envelope that the Oman royal family only opened in front of the TV camera after his death. It is believed there are other copies of the sealed envelope in different places within the country.
The choice of successor to the sultan is critical to future UK policy in the Middle East; had someone who was hostile to the UK been selected it would have been a catastrophic blow. But in the event, the appointment of Haitham, the culture minister, was a relief to the UK since he represents continuity and has wide experience of foreign affairs. He was educated at Pembroke College, Oxford, and is a huge fan of UK Premier League football.
Bournemouth football club has been despatched to Oman to help the country improve its soccer skills. The Oman national team has improved markedly since its lowpoint when it lost 21-0 to Libya in 1966.
Qaboos had managed to combine his role as a host to British forces with Oman’s international reputation as a discreet base for mediation, which led British ministers to describe the country as the lynchpin of the Middle East.
The king of Oman.

Who was Sultan Qaboos bin Said al-Said of Oman?
The longest-serving ruler in the Middle East, Sultan Qaboos bin Said al-Said, has died at the age of 79. Late Sultan's cousin and Oman's Minister for Culture Haitham bin Tariq Al Said has been named as his successor.
Last month, Sultan Qaboos, returned home after undergoing medical treatment in Belgium, amid reports he was suffering from cancer. A three-day period of official mourning for the public and private sectors has been declared. Let's take a look at the life of the man who built modern Oman, a man who had a knack for carefully balancing politics and foreign policy.
