  • Muscat, Oman Destination Guide

    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.

Degree awarded September 2017 ii © 2017 Nicole Kessell iii THESIS ABSTRACT Nicole Kessell Master of Arts Department of International Studies September 2017 Title: Migration, Identity, and the Spatiality of Social Interaction in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman Utilizing Henri Lefebvre’s theory of the production of space as a framework for exploration, this research is concerned with the social and cultural impacts of modernization and international migration to Muscat, Oman focusing on the production of space and its role in the modification and (re)construction of culture and identity in the everyday. While the Omani state is promoting a unifying national identity, Muscat residents are reconstructing and renegotiating culture and identity in the capital city. Individuals are adapting and conforming to, mediating, and contesting both the state’s identity project as well as to the equally, if not more, influential social control that is the culture of gossip and reputation.

Earth Sciences, Oxford University, UK, (3) Dept. of Geology & Petroleum Geology, School of Geosciences, University of Aberdeen, UK, (4) Dept. Earth Sciences, Cambridge University, UK The northeastern continental margin of Oman in the Saih Hatat region is characterised by high-pressure (HP) chloritoid- or carpholite-bearing meta-sediments and highly deformed mafic eclogites and blueschists in a series of tectonic units bounded by high-strain ductile shear zones. New data on the upper, carpholite-bearing cover units of this HP nappe stack indicate that all of them underwent similar P conditions to the underlying Hulw structural unit (with a cooler exhumation P-T path). Early SSW-directed crustal thickening during ophiolite emplacement created recumbent folds and strong schistose fabrics in these Permian–Mesozoic shelf carbonates and was followed by later NNE-dipping normal sense shear zones (namely the Hulw, Al Wudya, Yenkit, Al Hamriyah shear zones) and normal faults. In particular, the Mayh unit shows high strain in a 15-25 km long sheath fold that likely formed at carpholite grade pressures of 8-10 kbar and depths of ∼30 km. We show that there are no significant P differences across the Hulw shear zone (‘upper plate – lower plate discontinuity’) or the overlying Mayh, Yenkit-Yiti and Ruwi units, nor between them.

April 2016 i Assessing the Resilience of Water Supply Systems in Oman Kassim Mana Abdullah Al Jabri A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Abertay Dundee for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2016 I certify that this is the true and accurate copy of the thesis approved by the examiners Signed…………………………… Date……………………………. i Acknowledgements I would like to express my sincere recognition to my principal supervisor Professor David Blackwood, without whose quality and friendly supervision this work would not have come to fruition. My special regards to my second supervisor Professor Joseph Akunna, for his support and encouragement. I am also particularly grateful to Professor Chris Jefferies who advised and helped me a lot in the beginning of my research work Sincere regards also due to Dr. Majed Abusharkh, who provided efficient advice during the field work and collection and analysis of data in Oman. I would like to thank my colleagues in Public Authority for Electricity and Water (PAEW), Oman who helped me develop my research and provided me with the necessary information and data for the research work. My sincere thanking goes to my wife and my sons and daughters for their suffering with me and for their love, encouragement, sacrifice whilst studying in the UK since 2006 and throughout until graduation from the PhD. ii Abstract Water systems in the Sultanate of Oman are inevitably exposed to varied threats and hazards due to both natural and man-made hazards.
