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. -

Siraf played a leading role in facilitating maritime and terrestrial trade, connecting long-distance Indian Ocean and China routes with those in the Gulf region. Despite its history, no previous research has been dedicated to the maritime infrastructure of Siraf. Through the ‘2012 Siraf pilot project’ a preliminary survey of the underwater and shoreline remains of this ancient port city was conducted. The site’s location is unique in many respects to trade routes and logistical considerations; however, its maritime infrastructure is difficult to assess in light of the extensive threats to the site. © 2014 The Authors Key words: Siraf, maritime history, ancient port, underwater heritage. he archaeological site of Siraf is located in breakwaters, a corniche and parks along the shoreline, southern Iran, roughly half-way along the and an offshore fuelling terminal. -
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. -
Trade and Cultural Contacts Between Northern and Southern Persian Gulf During Parthians and Sasanians: a Study Based on Pottery from Qeshm Island
Intl. J. Humanities (2011) Vol. 18 (2): (89-115) Trade and Cultural Contacts between Northern and Southern Persian Gulf during Parthians and Sasanians: A Study Based on Pottery from Qeshm Island Alireza Hojabri-Nobari 1, Alireza Khosrowzadeh 2, Seyed Mehdi Mousavi Kouhpar 3, Hamed Vahdatinasab 4 Received:21/9/2011 Accepted:3/1/2011 Abstract The first season of survey at Qeshm, carried out during the winter of 2006, resulted in the identification of nine sites from the Parthian and Sasanian periods. The surface pottery from these sites suggests their trade and cultural relations with contemporary sites in the southern Persian Gulf and other areas. For instance, the Parthian and Sasanian glazed types in Qeshm Island are closely related materials found from Khuzestan as well as northern and southern coasts of the Persian Gulf, including ed-Dur, Suhar, Kush, Failaka and Qalat Bahrain. Parthian painted ware reveals close similarities to monochrome and bichrome painted pottery of southeastern Iran, Oman coasts and the southern Persian Gulf, specifically ed-Dur, Suhar, Kush and Tel-i-Abrak. The so-called Indian Red Polished Ware is the other diagnostic type widespread in the northern and southern coasts of the Persian Gulf from the middle Parthian up to the Downloaded from eijh.modares.ac.ir at 11:47 IRDT on Monday August 31st 2020 early Islamic period. The material was being widely produced in the Indian region (Gujarat) and Indus, and exported to different places around the Persian Gulf. The Coarse Black Ware ( ceramic noir epaise ) with decorative raised bands recorded in Qeshm compares with coarse-black material from the southern Persian Gulf, also occurring at sites such as ed-Dur and Abu Dhabi Islands. -

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. -
