CHRONOLOGY Early History Origins No Historical Evidence Exists CHRONOLOGY Early History origins No historical evidence exists regarding the origins of Muscat, although it seems likely that it may be several millennia old or more. Prehistoric set- tlements and burial grounds dating from the 4th millennium B.C. exist at Bandar Jissah, al- Wutayyah, Ra"s al-Hamra", Bawshar, al-Saruj, al-Khuwayr, and elsewhere in the capital area. Prehistoric rock art also exists in Wadi 'Adayy. 696 A fleet sent by al-Hajjaj b. Yusuf, the Umayyad governor of Iraq, is said to anchor at Bandar Jissah and land troops at Yiti, who march to Wadi Hatat where they are defeated by the Omanis. 865 Fortress town of Dama, location of an important pre-Islamic fair and site of present-day al-Sib, is destroyed by floods. 9th through Muscat is mentioned by Arab sources as a fishing 13th centuries village and as a source of water for ships setting off across the Indian Ocean. 11th century Muscat becomes a prominent port under the Kings of Hormuz, based at Qalhat in Oman. late 15th century Muscat eclipses Qalhat as Oman’s main coastal entrepôt. The Portuguese and al-Ya'aribah Period 1507 Portuguese fleet under Afonso d’Albuquerque reaches Omani coast near Masirah, passes Sur, takes Qalhat without resistance, and captures Quriyat after a severe battle. The Portuguese find Muscat defended by seafront ramparts and, after the failure of negotiations, bombard the town 118 chronology and mount a twin-pronged assault. Muscat is captured after a fierce struggle and most of its inhabitants are put to death. The town is then pillaged and burned to the ground, including the mosque, after the inhabitants fail to provide a ransom, as the Portuguese set sail for Suhar. The Portuguese return shortly afterwards and take permanent possession of the town. 1546 Four Ottoman ships anchor at Muscat and bombard the town, but sail away without landing. 1552 Ottoman fleet under command of Piri Reis attacks Muscat and captures the town and the forts before departing. 1553 Portuguese defeat Ottomans in a sea battle near al- Fahl Island. 1580 An Ottoman fleet under Piri Reis attacks Muscat by sea and land, landing at Sidab and infiltrating Muscat; defenders barricade themselves in the gharayzah and the two forts and Ottomans pillage the town before withdrawing. 1581 Three Ottoman galleys attack Muscat by landing men near the town and then bombarding the town from the harbor. Muscat is successfully invaded and the entire population flees before Ottomans leave. 1586–1588 Construction of al-Jalali and al-Mirani forts is completed. 1622–1625 Muscat becomes the regional center of the Portuguese after the fall of Hormuz. Their improvements include the rebuilding of the town wall, a new customs house and landing place, and various watchtowers, as well as two watchtowers in Matrah that are subsequently strength- ened into Matrah fort. 1624 Election of Nasir b. Murshid al-Ya'rubi as imam prompts the Portuguese to build an earthen land wall around Muscat, which is strengthened in subsequent years; the fortification system is extended as far as al-Sib. 1626 Fortifications of Muscat are strengthened under order of Ruy Freyre de Andrada to defend against attacks by the Persians, allied at this time with the English and Dutch. c. 1627 The fortifications at the entrance to Muscat harbor, al-Sirah al-Gharbiyah and al-Sirah al-Sharqiyah are completed..

    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.

Schotanus Wie ooit het prachtige boek 'Seashells of Eastern Arabia' van Bosch, Dance, 'onze' Rob Moolenbeek en Oliver in handen heeft gehad weet hoe rijk de malacofauna van Oman is. Ons enthousiasme werd Piet verder aangewakkerd door van Pel die voor de Friese hield Schelpenwerkgroep een aanstekelijke lezing over zijn ervaringen in Oman. Prettige bijkomstigheid was een aanbieding van Lufthansa, die voor 600 gulden een retour Amsterdam-Muscat aanbood.Op 20 februari2000 was het zover: wij vertrokken voor een 2-weekse verzamelreis naar Oman. Het is acht in het zuid- Sultanaat Oman ongeveer keer zo grootals Nederland en ligt oosten van het Arabisch schiereiland. Oman heeft 1700 km kust waar u uw hart kunt De noordkust onder de hoofdstad de Golf ophalen. (met meer Muscat) grenst aan van Oman, aan de oostkust vinden we de Arabische Zee. Beide delen van de kust werden door ons bezocht, althans een stukje ervan. Het klimaat is subtropisch tot tropisch. Oman bleek, in ons geval met een huurauto, een zeer gemakkelijk te bereizen en veilig land. Een visum is eenvoudig te krijgen. Er zijn uitstekende hotels, modeme wegen en de bevolking is zeer vriendelijk. Het enige nadeel is dat de prijzen van de hotels zijn die ruim voorzien oliedollars.Mocht niet bedreven afgestemd op mensen zijn van u zo in het Arabisch, dan de anekdote stellen. Na aankomst in zijn mag volgende u gerust Oman brengt een taxi ons naar het hotel.
