"A famous explorer described Oman as 'The Last Corner of Arabia'--for Oman is perhaps the least known and most remote of all Arab countries. Yet for thousands of years the great powers of the world have fought to dominate and enslave her--the Persians, the Romans, the Portuguese, the French and the British--for Oman covers the whole of the south-eastern corner of the Arabian Peninsula, with a thousand miles of strategic coastline commanding the Indian Ocean and the entrance to the Persian Gulf. Today oil-tankers destined for the rest of the world pass through her territorial waters and even larger Russian and American fleets plough the ocean off her southern coast. Throughout history Oman has stood at the crossroad of world trade between Europe and the East, Africa and India. 'Arabia Felix' the Romans called her--'Happy Arabia', yet she has been continuously plundered by invaders and torn by tribal warfare.The Saturday Review of Politics Literature Science and Art
