Asalam daykum! This postcard arrived from a distant
wonderful country Oman. Johann, a teacher, lives in Muscat, the capital of the
Sultanate of Oman. He finds Oman a very nice country to live and work in. He
himself has been working here since August.
Oman is a country in Asia. The capital is Muscat. The
population is about 2,967,717. Official language is Arabic. Oman is the oldest
Arab state. The Sultanate of Oman long served as a hub on the Indian Ocean
trade routes, and it has ancient ties that reach from Pakistan to the island of
Zanzibar. Today, Oman is one of the
wealthiest nations on Earth. Oman is known for its oil reserves, agriculture
and fishing. Oman's low-rise towns retain their traditional charms and Bedouin values
remain the same.
Enjoy the anthem:
Thanks a lot for the great postcard, Johann!
