	History Of Oman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Oman was the object of Franco-British rivalry throughout the 18th century.
		During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the sultan in Muscat faced rebellion by members of the Ibadi sect residing in the interior of Oman, centered around the town of Nizwa, who wanted to be ruled exclusively by their religious leader, the Imam of Oman.
		Oman maintained its diplomatic relations with Iraq throughout the Gulf War while supporting the United Nations allies by sending a contingent of troops to join coalition forces and by opening up to pre-positioning of weapons and supplies.

	Oman Travel Information \| Lonely Planet Destination Guide
		Muscat is fiercely hot and humid from mid-March until October and pleasantly warm from October to March.
		Oman stagnated after Said's sons split his empire, a situation which the British exacerbated by pressing the sultan to end the trade in slaves and arms for which the country had long been known.
		When Sultan Faisal bin Turki died in 1913, the interior's tribes refused to recognise his son as imam, leading to a split between the coastal area ruled by the sultan and the interior, which came to be controlled by a separate line of imams.

	Muscat Tour (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Muscat is rich in historic sites of interest to the tourist, as well as smart modern buildings which combine to give the city, one of the oldest and most important ports in Arabia.
		A large number of the dwellings in Muscat could, until the beginning of the 20th century, be considered an extension of its fortifications since their architecture resembled that of castles and forts in being defensive in nature, moving from the east to the west of the city.
		Oman's waterfront, with its fine sandy beaches, superb dive spots, and excellent conditions for a range of seaside pursuits, has always been something of a charmer with both adventure seekers and those looking for some tranquility.

		Oman's initial contacts with the British was part of an plan to undermine the commercial and political power of the Portugese in the area.
		Indeed, Sultan Said was such an anglophile that he came to depend on the British (and a few local trading families) to what was perhaps a dangerously unhealthy degree and one that resulted in political and economic stagnation for the country.
		Oman slipped in economic and strategic importance until the discovery of oil in the region in the 1940's and 50's.

		The importance of the Bait Al Falaj Fort to Sultan Said bin Sultan and to subsequent rulers of Oman is evidenced in the splendid interior decoration.
		In 1921 the Fort was chosen as the Headquarters of the Muscat Levy Corps, the first formed military unit of the Sultan’s Armed Forces (SAF); and, by 1957 it had become the permanent Headquarters of SAF who remained in occupation until the construction of Muaskar Al Murtafa’a camp near Seeb.
		Due attention is paid to Oman’s dynastic history and to the golden age of the Omani overseas empire, stretching down the east coast of Africa to beyond Zanzibar, including the development of the Omani dhow fleet that served it, particularly in the first half of the 19th Century.

	Muscat, Oman 2002
		In 1998 Sultan Qaboos was awarded the International Peace Award from the National Council on US-Arab Relations in recognition of his insight, and his role in maintaining peace and stability in the region.
		The township of Muscat is located within the confines of a small valley surrounded by jagged treeless hills on three sides and bordered by a harbor to the east opening up to the Gulf of Oman.
		Apparently Muscat is one of the many residences of the Sultan and is the sister city to Ruwi (7km/5mi away) for the seat of government, so down near the harbor you can see a slew of government buildings, and perched upon a craggy hill beside the water is a large stone fortress.

	Medals of the Sultanate of Oman (IEPE)
		In general, milutary badges are red (except for the highets classes) and bear the Oman arms in the center, while civil badges are are white (regardless of class) and have a crescent device in the center.
		Sultan Qaboos, however, habitually wears this medal (perhaps the Distinguished Service Medal, the only award of this medal?) as a part of his bar of medals, so his award might well be added to the one to Deputy Commissioner Cooper.
		The ribbon of the Sultan Said medal may be seen carrying a bronze (or silver?) khanjar device or a bronze palm leaf representing bravery in battle.

	Oman
		Long known as the hermit of the Middle East, the Sultanate of Oman is slowly emerging from its shell, revealing a land of friendly people, dramatic landscapes and a lot of forts.
		The capital, Muscat, lacks the nouveau-riche feel that typifies much of the rest of the Gulf, and although Oman remains, in many ways, the most traditional country in the region, it's often more outward looking than it's given credit for.
		During the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries Oman was an imperial power that vied first with Portugal and later with Britain for influence in the Gulf, the Indian Ocean and the coasts of India and East Africa.

		After the Portuguese were expelled in 1650 and while resisting Persian attempts to establish hegemony, the Sultan of Oman extended his conquests to Zanzibar, other parts of the eastern coast of Africa, and portions of the southern Arabian Peninsula.
		During this period, political leadership shifted from the Ibadi imams (elected religious leaders) in interior Oman proper to hereditary sultans who established their capital in coastal Muscat - whence the alternative names formerly used for the state: Muscat and Muscat and Oman.
		By the early 19th century, Muscat and Oman functioned as the most powerful state in Arabia and on the East African coast.
