The Centre is the child of the Gulf-wide mission of the Reformed Church in America that began in Oman in 1893. The mission‟s first efforts were in educational work by establishing a school in 1896 that eventually became a coeducational student body of 160 students. The school was closed in 1987 after ninety years of service to the community. The mission was active in many other endeavors, which included beginning a general hospital (the first in Oman), a maternity hospital, a unit for contagious diseases, and a bookshop. With the growth of these initiatives, by the 1950‟s the mission was the largest employer in the private sector in Oman. In the 1970‟s the hospitals were incorporated in the Ministry of Health, and the mission staff worked for the government to assist in the development of its healthcare infrastructure. The mission also established centers for Christian worship in Muscat and Muttrah. It is out of these centers that the contemporary church presence for the expatriate community Oman has grown, now occupying four campuses donated by His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said. After Oman discovered oil, having a newfound wealth with which to modernize, the mission's activities were either concluded or grew into independent initiatives. However, the desire to serve the people of Oman continued.

  • Spatial Prediction of Coastal Flood- Susceptible Areas in Muscat Governorate Using an Entropy Weighted Method
    Risk Analysis XII 121 SPATIAL PREDICTION OF COASTAL FLOOD- SUSCEPTIBLE AREAS IN MUSCAT GOVERNORATE USING AN ENTROPY WEIGHTED METHOD HANAN Y. AL-HINAI & RIFAAT ABDALLA Earth Sciences Department, College of Science, Sultan Qaboos University, Sultanate of Oman ABSTRACT Flooding is one of the most commonly occurring natural hazards worldwide. Mapping and evaluation of potential flood hazards are vital parts of flood risk assessment and mitigation. This study focuses on predicting the coastal flood susceptibility area in Muscat Governorate, Sultanate of Oman. First, it is assumed that the occurrence of a hazard can be determined based on the indicators influencing it. Thus, four indicators were selected and classified into five classes based on their contribution to flood hazard probability; these include ground elevation, slope degree, soil hydrologic group, and distance from the coast. Then, the entropy weighted method was applied to calculate the weights of given indicators in influencing flood hazards. The results were finally aggregated into ArcGIS software and the produced maps were reclassified into five coastal flood susceptibility zones. The results show that the soil indicator has the highest rate of weight in Wilayats Bawshar, Muttrah, Muscat and Qurayyat. While the elevation indicator has the highest rate of flood hazard in Wilayat AlSeeb. The weight results were used then for calculation of flood hazard index which was then classified into five classes of flood hazard susceptibility zones. The results of this work will be very useful in pursuing work on assessing the potential of multiple hazard risk interactions. It is essential to include certain indicators such as land use and land cover in future work, as they play a major role in water infiltration and runoff behaviour.

This research considers the Muttrah fish market project located in Muscat city, Oman and how it successfully implemented sustainability principles into its design process and construction. Several traditional markets in Oman experienced a great competition from the entrants of modern markets. The traditional markets failed to compete because of poor planning, inconvenient access, overcrowded trading activities, lack of air circulation and poor sanitation, affecting thousands of vendors. The former local market of Muttrah needed a new design to upgrade its commercial operations, in response to this, a more sustainable development model for

  • NGG Brochure 2015
    The New Generation Group Delegation وفد مجموعة الجيل الجديد Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Muscat 2015 Foreword Building on the success of the Oxford visit last year, we were delighted to welcome the 2015 NGG Delegation to Muscat this January. With the generous sponsorship of BP and the Shangri-La Resort, our members settled into the spectacular setting of the Al Husn hotel overlooking the Gulf of Oman. During the course of the next few days, our NGG delegates were privileged to hear some of the Sultanate's most senior speakers addressing the prevalent topic of Oman’s role as a gateway to Asia. From logistics to maritime, rail and aviation growth, we explored ways in which Oman is developing its infrastructure to fulfil its historical role as a thriving hub to the east. In the context of national strategy and regional leadership, the challenges of a lowering oil price were also addressed as the group analysed the need for greater Omani diversification away from hydrocarbons and towards manufacturing and service led industries. We were honoured that Her Highness Sayyida Mona bint Fahad Al Said and His Excellency Sayyid Badr Al Busaidi attended the farewell dinner amongst many senior Minsters, dignitaries and businessmen. Hosted at the Shangri- La Heritage Village, it was a wonderful opportunity for our guests to meet each other and learn about both the delegation and the New Generation Group. We would like to extend our huge thanks to our sponsors, speakers and delegates, all of whom made this year’s meeting our most successful to date.

    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.

    by Mikael Strandberg THROUGH THE EYES OF A WORLD FAMOUS EXPLORER Oman! I have just been back in Sweden for three days and I wish with the full strength of my heart that I was back in this spectacular country. What then is it I miss and long for? ell, first of all, it is a country with lots of diverse strong memory. Not for the shopping, but for the natural beauty. The coastline in itself is amazing atmosphere and one just has to stop at one of the coffee stalls Wwith its natural reserves like the diving at and have a kavva and dates whilst watching the exiting souk Dimaaniyat Islands and the preservation of the green turtles life, this is true happiness!

But for me, the best side of Oman everywhere, you get fed up, after all one is in Oman to meet is the interior. This is where you find a profound feeling of local people- and we instead just sat down on a mat on the the old Arabia, famed for its Bedouins travelling from one parking lot outside the souk in Nizwa and had a bunch of souk (market) to another by camel trading frankincense, tasty mutton kebabs together with two rough looking myrrh and gold.

  • Muttrah Fish Market Muscat, Oman
    2019 On Site Review Report by Hossein Rezai 4946.OMA Muttrah Fish Market Muscat, Oman Architect Snøhetta Client Municipality of Muscat Design 2009-2012 Completed 2017 2 Muttrah Fish Market Muscat, Oman I. Introduction Muttrah Fish Market is a two-storey building under a large roof canopy. It sits on the fringe of the corniche, very close and accessible to the sea and the port where large tourist liners dock. The building footprint is just under 2,300 square metres on an overall site area of 22,249 square metres. The new building complex replaces the old fish market and adds a vegetable souk, as well as rooftop restaurants and cafés, to the site. The architecture of the building is highly unusual in the context of the controlled urban planning guidelines prevailing in Muscat where colours are neutral and subdued, and building heights limited to 50 metres. The Fish Market sits comfortably in this context, yet is a successful attempt to expand the city’s architectural horizons. The choice of exposed steel for the extensive roof canopy, which is of a curvilinear and organic form hovering above, distinguishes the building, yet demonstrates an intellectual level of congruency with the tradition that is commendable. From a social perspective, the development aims at dignifying the fishing industry through destigmatisation of occupations in this sector which have been increasingly disregarded by the local population in the post- oil economy. II. Contextual information A. Brief historical background Country: Among the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries, Oman is the least investigated (Benkari 2017). Situated on the south-eastern end of the Arabian Peninsula, it is geographically embraced by the United Arab Emirates in the north-west, Yemen in the south-west, Saudi Arabia in the west, and the open waters of the Sea of Oman and the Indian Ocean to the north and east.
