This publication contains the Selected Indicators and Information from the Results of the Censuses 1993, 2003 and 2010. It shall be followed by other publications at various Administrative divisions of the Sultanate. Efforts of thousands of those who contributed to census administrative and field work had culminated in the content of this publication. We seize this opportunity to express our appreciation and gratitude to all Omani and Expatriate people who cooperated with the census enumerators in providing the requested information fully and accurately. We also wish to express our appreciation and gratitude to Governmental civic, military and security institutions for their full support to the census a matter that had contributed to the success of this important national undertaking. Likewise, we wish to recognize the faithful efforts exerted by all census administration and field staff in all locations and functional levels.

  • Al Alama Centre
    ALAL AMANAALAMAALAMA CENTRECENTRECENTRE MUSCAT,MUSCAT, SULTANATESULTANATE OFOF OMANOMAN HH AA NN DD BB OO OO KK 0 OUR HISTORY – A UNIQUE LEGACY The name “Al Amana” is Arabic for “bearing trust,” which captures the spirit and legacy of over 115 years of service in Oman. 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.

  • Tectonics of the Musandam Peninsula and Northern Oman Mountains: from Ophiolite Obduction to Continental Collision
    GeoArabia, 2014, v. 19, no. 2, p. 135-174 Gulf PetroLink, Bahrain Tectonics of the Musandam Peninsula and northern Oman Mountains: From ophiolite obduction to continental collision Michael P. Searle, Alan G. Cherry, Mohammed Y. Ali and David J.W. Cooper ABSTRACT The tectonics of the Musandam Peninsula in northern Oman shows a transition between the Late Cretaceous ophiolite emplacement related tectonics recorded along the Oman Mountains and Dibba Zone to the SE and the Late Cenozoic continent-continent collision tectonics along the Zagros Mountains in Iran to the northwest. Three stages in the continental collision process have been recognized. Stage one involves the emplacement of the Semail Ophiolite from NE to SW onto the Mid-Permian–Mesozoic passive continental margin of Arabia. The Semail Ophiolite shows a lower ocean ridge axis suite of gabbros, tonalites, trondhjemites and lavas (Geotimes V1 unit) dated by U-Pb zircon between 96.4–95.4 Ma overlain by a post-ridge suite including island-arc related volcanics including boninites formed between 95.4–94.7 Ma (Lasail, V2 unit). The ophiolite obduction process began at 96 Ma with subduction of Triassic–Jurassic oceanic crust to depths of > 40 km to form the amphibolite/granulite facies metamorphic sole along an ENE- dipping subduction zone. U-Pb ages of partial melts in the sole amphibolites (95.6– 94.5 Ma) overlap precisely in age with the ophiolite crustal sequence, implying that subduction was occurring at the same time as the ophiolite was forming. The ophiolite, together with the underlying Haybi and Hawasina thrust sheets, were thrust southwest on top of the Permian–Mesozoic shelf carbonate sequence during the Late Cenomanian–Campanian.

Box 17555, Al-Ain, United Arab Emirates 2Irrigation and Hydraulics Department, Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University, P.O. Box 12211, Giza, Egypt Abstract: Geological lineaments play vital role in groundwater recharge, groundwater discharge toward the sea. For this purpose, topographic fabric algorithm which uses a digital elevation model (DEM) to create maps of ridges and valleys was used to carry out all geological lineaments crosscutting the entire Musandam Peninsula, UAE and Oman. Six sets of geological lineaments deform the carbonate aquifer of Musandam Peninsula, UAE and Oman. Their orientations were found to be in the NW-SE,NNW-SSE,NE-SW,NNE-SSW, WNW-ESE and E-W directions. The most notable of these lineaments are tensional and dipping to the E-W, NNE-SSW and N-S. The extracted geological lineaments were spatially correlated with previously groundwater samples collected from Al Bih well field. The results of the study reveal that the Musandam carbonate aquifer is structurally controlled by geological lineaments that have been produced by successive tectonic events, significantly influencing groundwater salinity and groundwater temperature of Al Bih well field indicat- ing the efficient of the proposed method. Keywords: Musandam, Geological lineaments, Wadi Al Bih, Sea water intrusion.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 bLOSiL ZZLL d ABSTRACT This thesis analyses the external and internal influences on the process of state formation in Oman since 1920 and places this process in comparative perspective with the other states of the Gulf Cooperation Council. It considers the extent to which the concepts of informal empire and collaboration are useful in analysing the relationship between Oman, Britain and the United States. The theoretical framework is the historical materialist paradigm of International Relations. State formation in Oman since 1920 is examined in a historical narrative structured by three themes: (1) the international context of Western involvement, (2) the development of Western strategic interests in Oman and (3) their economic, social and political impact on Oman.
