Oman

The Sultanate of Oman (سلطنة عُمان), commonly known as Oman (عُمان), is a sultanate located in the southeastern Arabian Peninsula .

The official name of the country is the Sultanate of Oman , and the Republic of Korea The Ministry of Foreign Affairs designates the Kingdom of Oman as its official name. In English, it is written as Oman (əʊˈmɑːn) , ​​but in Arabic it is pronounced closer to Umān (ʻUmān) .[10]

The capital is Muscat , and in Arabic it is called Masqaṭ . Muscat was the name representing the Oman region for a long time, but it was removed from the country's name with King Qaboos' accession to the throne.

The official language is Arabic .[11] It's a hot and humid climate, and the inland area is a desert climate. Religion has 86%of Islam . The mainstream of Ibodypa , which is a kind of Kawariipa, is not a Sunni or Shi'ite . At present, there are no areas that are widely believed other than arrogance, so it is virtually as indigenous.[12]

It is a little better than other Arab monarchs, such as Saudi Arabia , Catar , Bahrain , Jordan, Morocco , and Kuwait , including allowing freedom of other religious faith other than Islam . Since it is a state of Ibody, the interests of Sunni and Shi'ite, and the characteristics of the IBDA itself were relatively generous in the Islamic school. Although it is not comparable to other developed countries or neighboring Saudi Arabia , it is incomparably more stable and economy than neighboring Yemen .

It is the only country whose name begins with the letter O when written in the English Romanization system. It also borders Yemen, the only country whose name begins with the letter Y.

As an oil-producing country, it is an oil-exporting country, and as an oil-producing country, most of its exports are made up of petroleum products.

It is located at the southeastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula . It borders the United Arab Emirates to the northwest, Saudi Arabia to the west, and Yemen to the southwest . It faces the Arabian Sea to the south and east, and is bordered by Iran across the Gulf of Oman to the northeast.

The northern Gulf of Oman is currently in a state where a land mass on one side is sliding into the old Tethys Sea during the process of creating the Gulf of Oman. The oceanic crust and part of the mantle beneath it are pushed up and exposed. This structure is called ophiolite , and among them, Oman ophiolite is the most famous and well-preserved ophiolite. If you look at the Oman region on Google Earth right now, you can see that, unlike other places, mafic rocks have been laid on top of the continent, exposing a pitch-black rock layer in the northern part.

The Musandam Peninsula in the north is part of Oman, but it has become a border area isolated from other parts of Oman due to the United Arab Emirates , which has moved in as if it had invaded the middle . The Musandam Peninsula has a population of 28,378 (as of 2008) and an area of ​​only 1,800 km², similar to Jeju Island , but it is located at one end of the Strait of Hormuz . It is the throat of the Red Sea , Persian Gulf , and Arabian Sea , which connects to the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal , and is the closest strategic point just 50km away from Iran. It's no joke that you can swim this distance in just one day. Truly the Gibraltar of Arabia . Oil and gas are also produced here, making it a truly beloved land. # Kumzari, a village at the tip of the Musandam Peninsula, speaks Kumzari, and it is presumed that this is the only Persian-based language on the Arabian Peninsula because of this close distance. There is a reason for this separation. Britain, which suffered damage to trade due to the large number of pirates, persuaded the vassal states to create a united state here , and among these, some countries in the Musandam Peninsula and Madha region wanted to join other countries, and as a result, it became the land of Oman.

However, in the Musandam region, sentiment toward Iran is said to be quite good. This was covered in the January 2014 issue of National Geographic , and coincidentally, the reason it was covered was to cover rock climbers, which had nothing to do with politics. It is said that the Musandam Peninsula is full of all kinds of natural rock walls and is rarely developed, so American and European rock climbers often visit. However, while I was covering the story, I was surprised to see Iranian cargo ships (more precisely, smuggling ships) coming and going at the border, but the local residents of Musandam reportedly said, 'Iran needs to make a profit too, why are you trying to kill Iran?' The local interpreter said that the Musandam Peninsula area has been friendly toward Iran for a long time, so everyone pretends not to know about this incident. U.S. and British troops are also stationed on Masirah Island in the south .

Madha, located between the mainland and the Musandam region, is an Omani territory surrounded by the United Arab Emirates territory, and is a donut-shaped area with the United Arab Emirates territory (Nahwa) in the middle. It is said that this is what happened because the tribes in the surrounding area chose to belong to the United Arab Emirates, but they chose to become Oman alone. #

Most of the area is desert . The capital , Muscat , has a typical desert climate with an annual precipitation of 100mm, and the highest temperature recorded at 49.1℃. On June 28, 2018, in Kuriyat, in the eastern coastal region, the lowest temperature of 42.6 ℃ was recorded, showing the end of the tropical night . However, in the southernmost Dhofar region, the summer weather is relatively cool (?) due to the influence of the rainy season called Harif during the summer. In addition, the humidity is high due to the influence of the sea. The average humidity in August in Muscat, the capital, is 67%, and in Sohar, it reaches 80%, higher than in Seoul. The average humidity in August is as high as 90%.

Oman, like other Arab countries, has a severe gender imbalance. According to the CIA the Worldfactbook in 2017, Oman is a severely male-dominant country with an overall sex ratio of 119:100. The newborn sex ratio is 105:100, which is a natural sex ratio.[13] The sex ratio for young people aged 15 to 24 is 110:100, and for older adults aged 25 to 54, the sex ratio is as high as 138:100 . The sex ratio among middle-aged people aged 55 to 64 is 114:100, and in the elderly, there are slightly more women at 99:100. In other words, the gender ratio imbalance in Oman is caused by a serious gender imbalance between the young and middle-aged, which is believed to be caused by foreign workers.

The proportion of Muslims is so high that the " seven -year -old seven -seven -seven " gender discrimination exists, and it is quite open compared to Saudi Arabia, but it is also under Saudi Arabia, just under Saudi Arabia. This was conservative in 1970 , Sultan, Cabus Binide (قاب ب س), and in 1966, his father -in -law, Bean Tamur Alside (س ب ت), who had been paranoids after assassination in 1966 , was reigning and reigning . This is because they joined and allowed freedom of religion, and they were quite open. Not only the Christian cathedral, of course, Hindu temples and Buddhist temples. There are quite a few gas and mineral resources in some regions, so they are quite profitable. In addition, Ibody Islam, the state religion of Oman, is relatively generous to other faith than other Islam. Similar to Alebie , the doctrine of the Ibody wave is not well known, but the specific doctrine is not well known, but it is certain that the pagans take a much more vigorous attitude than other Islamic sects.

However, this cannot be considered open and tolerant in the modern sense, and internal crackdowns are much more severe than those of ordinary Sunnis. However, the religion itself internally has a permissive view of other faiths, saying, " Don't worry if they say they want to go to hell ."

In addition, Saudi Arabia, a neighboring Arab country, was legally impossible to enter foreigners for tourism purposes until recently, and prohibited women from wearing black abayas , selling alcohol, and drinking alcohol. It is not compulsory to wear a hijab-type veil ,[14] Although limited, in the capital, Muscat, and in the second city, Salalah, there are alcohol sales in hotels and even nightclubs (!!). Most 4-star and above hotels sell alcoholic beverages, and you can drink freely except during Ramadan.

It was King Qaboos who created the Basic Law (Constitution) in 1996 , granted the right to vote to all citizens in 2003 , and traveled to each region accompanied by ministers for two to three months at the beginning of each year to survey public opinion and reflect it in national affairs. Thanks to this, he is preventing Islamic extremism. #



sultan Qaboos bin Said alside

With wise reform policies comparable to the Sultan's Renaissance , the domestic situation is very stable compared to other Middle Eastern countries. Even though Yemen is dangerous due to terrorism and civil war next door , there are no areas where security is noticeably dangerous. Even in the city of Salalah and Jabal Samhan national park in southern Oman, which is close to Yemen and just a stone's throw from Somalia, security is stable. There is also a reason why multinational fleets are stationed there.[15] If security in this city near a remote country begins to become unstable, it will only be a matter of time before the influence continues to spread, so even within Oman, this area is being intensively cracked down. And if a terrorist attack were to occur, it would be the same as a terrorist attack on all multinational fleets, so from Oman's perspective, there was no choice but to be concerned.

Due to the influence of the Arab Spring , bloodshed spread to this country, but there was a lull. In the first place, the cause itself was not anti-king, but reform, and the king initiated a cabinet reshuffle in time and established the 'Shura Committee'.[16] It was resolved well while expanding. For more details, refer to the Arab Spring document.

In 2013, the weekend was changed to Friday and Saturday . In fact, Oman changed the weekend to Friday and Saturday in the financial sector from July 1, 2008, and in 2013, the Friday-Saturday weekend system was almost completely expanded.

On 30 January 2018, the Omani police announced that from 1 March, the policy would allow women to drive commercial vehicles such as taxis and trucks. #

On May 21, 2019, a book written by Omani female writer Alharti was selected for the Man Booker Prize. #

On January 10, 2020, the Sultan passed away at the age of 79. The cause of death was colon cancer. #

12 days. Arab leaders paid tribute while visiting, and Western countries also mourned. #

After the death of Qaboos Sultan, the successor was determined to be Qaboos' cousin, Haisam bin Tariq Al Said (born 1954), Minister of Culture. #

new sultan Haitham Bin Tariq Al Said

"We will follow the path of the late sultan," said Sultan Haitham in his first public speech, which was broadcast on state television shortly after taking the throne. "Our foreign policy is to live peacefully with other countries and peoples. We respect national sovereignty and international cooperation.”

In particular, Oman, a country where the majority is Ibadhi, not Sunni or Shia, did not take sides with either Sunni Saudi Arabia or Shia Iran in the Saudi-Iran conflict, and so it maintained neutrality even when Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain cut ties with Qatar, which sided with Iran, in June 2017.[17] It has also earned the nickname "Switzerland of the Middle East" for its diplomatic moves, including mediating between the United States and Iran in the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and providing a forum for negotiations between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis .

Haitham Sultan's remarks are interpreted as Oman's will to continue acting as a diplomatic neutral and mediator.

35.5% of the adult population is overweight, and 30.7% is obese. # In addition, the obesity rate among women is 39.3%. The reason why the obesity rate in Oman is so high is because the desert climate makes outdoor activities difficult.

Like other Arab countries in the Middle East , it is basically an Islamic country where the vast majority of its citizens believe in Islam , so Islamic traditions remain. Compared to other Middle East countries, it is relatively stable politically and socially, and the traditional Arab culture remains. Even the Oman government emphasizes traditional cultural elements to preserve the traditions of the motherland, such as traditional costumes, dance, and music, and invests a huge national budget. It is said that they are doing a traditional culture support project. Traditional dance and music performances are even broadcast on television. Unlike Koreans who rarely wear traditional clothes such as hanbok except for Chuseok or Lunar New Year holidays or special events such as weddings , both men and women in Oman tend to wear traditional clothes a lot.

Omani's traditional clothing is different from the clothes that people often think of when they think of Arabs, and there are many clothes with colorful colors and patterns, and there are many clothes similar to Indian or Persian traditional clothes. In particular, a hat called Gomma, which is worn by men with colorful patterns on a white background, is characteristic, and there is even a saying that you can distinguish an Arrogant person by looking at the hat.

As in the Arab-Islamic religious world, where it is a religious taboo in the culinary culture, pork is not used, and meat is mainly consumed as halal food, such as beef , chicken , lamb , goat meat , and camel meat, which are allowed to be eaten under Islamic Qur'anic law . Perhaps because it borders the vast waters of the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea, seafood such as sea bream, horse mackerel , shrimp, and rock lobster are often caught in the country's territorial waters. Like other Arab countries with a developed coffee culture, coffee is also enjoyed.

Soccer is popular, like other countries in other Middle East . See Oman Football Team for the National University . The soccer style is also the Middle East, so it is quite infamous as a bed football . The most famous soccer player from this country is by far a goalkeeper in the Premier League There is an Ali Al Hapsi .

Kim Gyu -hyeon, who was famous for playing in the Argentine league, played for Daegu FC and then Al Nassr SC (Salalah) in the Oman Premier League .

In addition to football , there are also tennis and other balls, and there are also popular female tennis players such as Islamic countries and Patma Annabhanni (فاط الان). In fact, in addition to this person, there are more tennis national players, but most of them are male players and Annabhanni is virtually the only female tennis player. In the Middle East Arab region, where women's sports have not developed a conservative influence of Islam, which constrains women's activities, this woman is a case in Gaecheon .

There are no Olympic medals, but there is one Paralympic medal, a bronze medal.

Although it is an oil-rich country with a fairly large territory, it does not have a single railway line.[18] However, there is a plan to build a trans-Gulf railway starting at Salalah, the second largest city, and connecting to the United Arab Emirates, but this is only at the discussion stage due to the budget for the construction cost of the railway and differences in the positions of the United Arab Emirates and Oman. Most of the population is concentrated in Muscat (including satellite cities such as Bossier and Zeb), Salalah, and Sohar, and Salalah-Muscat is an environment where airplanes are much more efficient, and Sohar-Muscat is less than 2 hours away by car, so the reality is that it is not economically feasible unless there is a rail route connecting Salalah to the inland Gulf.

Oman maps appearing in the name of Oman in Battlefield are in Battlefield 2 (basic), Battlefield Online , Battlefield 3 (DLC), and Battlefield 4 (DLC).

It is also the place where famous producer Avicii died. To be exact, he ended his life by suicide in Muscat , Oman.

If you look at the news opening in 1985, other Arab countries had fanfare-style music as their background music, but Oman alone had disco music. Compared to other Arab countries, it was almost hip(...). It can be seen that Oman is a heterogeneous country within the Islamic world.[20] For reference, this BGM was used from 1976/77 to 1993. The history of Oman's news opening For reference, Oman started TV broadcasting on November 17, 1974.
