  • Muscat, Oman Destination Guide
    Muscat, Oman Destination Guide Overview of Muscat Muscat is the capital and largest city in Oman, but tourists will find that the mundane activity of the busy modern capital is easily forgotten among the exotic delights of bustling markets, cannon-guarded forts, ornate palaces and historic city harbour. The once important maritime city underwent a resurgence in the 1970s, when the Sultan Qaboos bin Said began to develop museums, mosques and palaces, and worked to restore relics of Muscat's history. Muscat is made up of three cities grown together: the original walled city of Muscat (home to the royal palaces); the former fishing village of Matrah with its maze-like souq; and the commercial and diplomatic area of Ruwi. These areas, along with other districts further from the city centre, each have their own distinct personalities and attractions. Although Muscat is a popular destination for sightseeing tours, many of the attractions are primarily regular fixtures of Omani life. The mosques are important religious sites, the ancient forts are still operated by the military and the sultan's palace is the seat of Oman's government. The beauty of the city is what makes Muscat so alluring, especially near the harbour. The smooth, curved stone architecture is a transition from the rocky landscape to the inviting water of the harbour. Many new buildings have continued with classic Arabic architecture, further protecting the city's legacy from the ravages of the modern world. Muscat is one of the safest, most cosmopolitan and most open-minded cities in the entire Gulf Region and fast becoming a Middle East tourism hotspot.

    PREFACE This Distribution System Capability Statement (DSCS) is provided by Muscat Electricity Distribution Company (MEDC) to fulfil its regulatory obligations under Condition number 32 of the MEDC Distribution and Supply Licence as well as the Oman Distribution Planning Code 4.4. MEDC supplies electricity to customers throughout the Muscat Governate as the owner and operator of its electricity distribution system originating from the 33kV busbars of the Oman Electricity Transmission Company (OETC) 132/33kV grid substations down to the final customer’s point of connection; which incorporates 33kV, 11kV and Low Voltage (LV) distribution system voltage levels and associated assets. The aim of this DSCS is to provide an up-to-date distribution system capability for the next three years (2021-2023) along with data to enable customers in identifying parts of the system; which offer opportunities for future connections or upgrading of existing connections to the MEDC system and where constraints currently exist or potentially could exist in future. In addition to the required data made available annually as part of DSCS; MEDC additionally has provided improved detailed system connectivity and additional technical data of assets, impact analysis of Cost Reflective Tariff (CRT) on MEDC customers and an overview of the photovoltaic (PV) system penetration in the MEDC distribution system which is gaining momentum in our licenced area as well. These additions are expected to provide customers and other stakeholders with a transparent understanding of MEDC distribution system and operational overview, sufficient technical parameters to undertake initial system capabilities assessment and the overall distribution system development. Additionally, this year the world including MEDC customers and hence its network have experienced a force-majure event triggered due to the COVID-19 pandemic which has temporarily but significantly impacted electricity demand including future growth in the MEDC licenced area.

This Statement describes the Distribution System capability over the next three years 2018 -2020. The Statement provides up-to-date Distribution System data to provide customers with the information needed to identify those parts of the system which offer the most suitable opportunities for future connections to the MEDC system and where constraints currently exist, or will exist. This year we have taken the decision to further provide detailed system data in spreadsheet format.

Running Header and front cover: "Post-obduction evolution of Oman" Late Cretaceous to Paleogene Post-obduction extension and subsequent Neogene compression in the Oman Mountains Marc Fournier, Claude Lepvrier, Philippe Razin and Laurent Jolivet ABSTRACT After the obduction of the Samail ophiolitic nappe onto the Arabian Platform in the Late Cretaceous, north Oman underwent several phases of extension before being affected by compression in the framework of the Arabia-Eurasia convergence. A tectonic survey, based on structural analysis of fault- slip data in the post-nappe units of the Oman Mountains, allowed us to identify major events of the Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic tectonic history of northern Oman.
