1. Khanjar:<\/strong>\u00a0De Khanjar is een traditionele Omaanse dolk die alle mannen aan hun riem dragen bij offici\u00eble evenementen en feestelijke gelegenheden. De versiering van de Khanjar dolk varieert sterk en is een symbool van de afkomst, mannelijkheid en moed van de man. De dolk maakt ook deel uit van de vlag van Oman<\/p>\n

2. Geletterdheid:<\/strong>\u00a087% van de bevolking in Oman kan lezen en schrijven<\/p>\n

3. Nationale dag:<\/strong>\u00a018 november is de nationale dag in Oman. Het viert het begin van de heerschappij van de huidige sultan Qaboos bin Said in 1970. De dag valt ook samen met de verjaardag van de sultan.<\/p>\n

4. Omana:<\/strong>\u00a0Yalainous, die leefde in de jaren 23 - 79 na Christus, was een van de eerste Romeinse historici die Oman (toen 'Omana' genoemd) noemde.<\/p>\n

5. Portugese heerschappij:<\/strong>\u00a0Oman stond tussen 1507 en 1650 onder Portugees bestuur. De Ottomanen veroverden de hoofdstad echter twee keer in deze periode. Met uitzondering van een kortstondige Perzische invasie aan het eind van de jaren 1740, heeft Oman sinds 1650 zelfbestuur.<\/p>\n

Feit: De Khanjar is een traditionele Omaanse dolk die bij alle offici\u00eble evenementen wordt gedragen. De dolk is een teken van mannelijkheid en moed en maakt ook deel uit van de Omaanse vlag.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Sultanaat:<\/strong>\u00a0Oman is een van de weinige sultanaten ter wereld - een land waar het staatshoofd een islamitische monarch is die regeert volgens de sharia. Andere voorbeelden van sultanaten zijn Brunei en enkele staten in Maleisi\u00eb.<\/p>\n

7. Sultan Qaboos:<\/strong>\u00a0De huidige sultan, Qaboos bin Said Al Said, nam het roer over na de vreedzame afzetting van zijn vader, Said bin Taimur, in 1970. Zijn vader was sultan sinds 1932.<\/p>\n

8. Wierook:<\/strong>\u00a0Hoewel de economie van Oman tegenwoordig zwaar leunt op de olie-industrie, is dat niet altijd zo geweest; duizenden jaren lang was wierook een van de belangrijkste handelswaar en later werd Oman ook bekend om het fokken van renpaarden (van het 'volbloed Arabische' ras).<\/p>\n

9. Economie:<\/strong>\u00a0Omdat Oman beperkte oliereserves heeft, heeft de sultan verschillende maatregelen genomen om een economische crisis te voorkomen als de olie uiteindelijk opraakt. Deze maatregelen omvatten investeringen in de industrie, landbouw en visserij - maar deze sectoren zijn nog steeds goed voor minder dan 1% van de export van het land. Daarnaast is er een sterke focus op toerisme in de toekomst.<\/p>\n

10. Personeel:<\/strong>\u00a0De beroepsbevolking in Oman bestaat uit ongeveer 968.800 mensen, waarvan ongeveer 60% buitenlanders. Dit deel van de beroepsbevolking stuurt ongeveer $30 miljard naar hun thuislanden in Azi\u00eb en Afrika, hoewel ongeveer de helft van hen minder dan $400 per maand verdient. De grootste groep buitenlandse werknemers in Oman zijn Indi\u00ebrs<\/p>\n
