Summary:

""Ahlaan bikum fi eamman"-Welcome to Oman, a country of contrasts. Located on the Arabian Peninsula in the Middle East, Oman straddles the old and the new, the traditional with the modern. Camels and horses vie with cars and buses for room on the roads. Mosques made for worshippers share the land with motels made for tourists. Multiple cups of kahwa, or coffee mixed with cardamom, are served daily, alongside countless cans of Mountain Dew, both competing to be the country's favorite beverage. Oman has a long and rich history as people have lived in the region for more than 100,000 years, and readers are sure to enjoy discovering this history within the pages of this detailed guide to Oman's geography, economy, government, and culture"-- Provided by publisher.
