Description

Oman is a fascinating country of uncommon natural beauty. After a look at Oman’s long and complex history, including its unique economic, religious, and political aspects, we travel around the country. View the effects of the 50-year reign of its sultan as Oman moved from a largely 19th century to a 21st century way of life. Finally, we look at coming challenges for Oman in its tumultuous neighborhood.
