I lived in this country and realised that it’s such a lovely place to be in. Kind hearted people and an amazing culture of hospitality. Love Omán 🇴🇲

I'm from Bangladesh lived in Oman for 2 years I met with lot of nice human there ..so kind and nice person omanian peoples are. may Allah bless Oman long live Oman 🇧🇩🇴🇲❤️

I was 4 years in Oman 🇴🇲 from 2012 to 2016. The locals are very nice and friendly people and Oman 🇴🇲 has a breathe taking beauty.

The Sultanate of Oman is indeed a beautiful country. It is rich in unique history, wonderful nature and warm people. I was in the country when Sultan Qaboos died. The love for this late sultan was omnipresent. I wish the new sultan every success. I think it is important to maintain the neutrality of Oman. The country is located in a conflict-ridden region. This region needs a strong Oman.

A quality historical documentary. I am Portuguese, and I have immense respect for the people of Oman, and the interventions of their historians.

I love Oman very much. I am originally from East Africa and was fortunate this summer to visit Fort Jesus in the coastal Mombasa where guides have given us the history of the Turkish conquest, the Portuguese invasion, the British empire and how the Oman Arabs who have enlisted the support of the Baluchi warriors from Pakistan have defeated this great empires who have enslaved the population . The remnants of the occupation is still present at the Fort including the body of one of the famous Portuguese general. My kids enjoyed the history and subsequent independence of Kenya.

I exited to this country from Qatar for 3 days and the first time I arrived at the airport I was greeted by the Omanis policemen and I felt so so welcomed I have no regret that i chose this country to be exited it was my happiest days in the Middle Eas I couldnt compare them with another Midest

I will never forget a Nigerian classmate in college introduced me to this country that has a lot of history.

I play eu4, before I start a campaign, I like to learn the history of the country I'm about to play. Thank you for this, oman is a very small, interesting nation in 1444.

These people clearly have heritage from East Africa u can tell. I believe I have some East African DNA as well. I have saw the Sahara Desert it's huge I literally saw Sudan that's how close I was there I will never forget

Love Oman 🇴🇲 Love Omani Culture Tradition Music Food Festival Language History Arab Culture is the Most Beautiful 🇴🇲🇴🇲 🇵🇰🇵🇰

Oman is a country of beautiful history and peace👍

I was born there when my father was serving in the education ministry.... so part omani............. on some level.... What a beautiful country.

Great history!!!! Oman's people are very kind, may Allah bless Oman and its people

My family and I once went to Oman and it's the best. Omani people were so friendly. Shoutout to Omanis. Love from Malaysia. 🇲🇾❤🇴🇲

للأصدقاء في عمان. أنا ياباني أعيش في اليابان. في 11 مارس 2011 ، وقع زلزال كبير في اليابان. لقد مرت 10 سنوات وأنا أعلم اليوم. أرسل شعب عمان الكثير من الأموال إلى اليابان. شعرت بالحرج لعدم معرفة ذلك. في نفس الوقت وقعت في حب بلد عمان. أود أن أشكر الكثير من اليابانيين. لا علاقة له بمحتوى الأخبار ، لكن لم أكن أعرف من أين أنقل هذا الشعور ، لذلك استعرت هذا المكان. شكرا لك!

Oman never Colonised Somalia , but Somali Ajuuraan Empire and Oman sultanate allied to defeat the Portuguese and we succeeded in Most parts , we Somalis defeated Portuguese in Nugadisho and marka .

I’m from Bangladesh lived in Oman 2year.Omani people are very good and kind god bless oman and its people ❤️ 🇧🇩 🇴🇲

I am Bangladeshi in Oman since 2008 till now, Oman Peace Beloved Country Omani people are very sincere😍🤲

I lived here as a very young kid. My earliest memories are here. Deserts, mountains, the beach, very well maintained infrastructure and a large guest worker community that didn’t really mix with the locals is what I remember.

This history is critical and has played an important role in the lives of millions - from Oman to Mozambique - Zanzibar, Pemba, Mombasa - to Goa, India and beyond. The rulers of this region figured out 500 years ago - how all of humanity mattered and could like in harmony. Much like the idea of being a World Citizen - easily said but difficult to attain. We owe a lot to the people of the present region in the Middle East - riddled with conflict - today the United States aids Saudi Arabia - to kill and maim - infants, children, youth, young adult, Elders - those with comprised health. The world is ignorant of history and less of history that matters. These indigenous tribes go back 100,000 years - we may not believe it - but the empirical data is there - for all the world to see. In the middle of Ramadan this video - should allow us to review the atrocities of the invaders - the Portuguese, the British in this region in the 16th Century.I have travelled and seen for myself this region - the video bring new light to the era of enlightenment. Much like the Six Nations in the United States - tribes who practiced democracy and the Long Cabin. In this case Islam led by leaders having wisdom - took control their destiny. Only for the invaders - the colonizers - to ruin harmony and more.

Please do not forget to add English subtittles in your videos Al Jazeera, I'm from south america and I'm not fluent English speaker yet. I would love to know more about Oman and the surrounding countries, and most of us in my country (Brazil) know NOTHING about middle east. Help us to fight against ignorance, misinformation and prejudices

I've lived in Oman for 6 years. Some good some bad. The slavery issue is smoothly undisclosed here. As an Arabic country, having lived in many all through my childhood, Oman is stunning. Long live Sultan Al Qaboos. A great man.

Omanis are special kind of people....really amazing ,kind and down to earth people..may God bring them prosperity !!

I live in Ras Al Khaimah, but have never realised how intertwined both countries were. Thank you for a very knowledgeable piece of history.

Very interesting documentary,learning to know more about the culture of Arab nations. Thank you Al Jessera.

This is a WOW piece on Oman. ❤

Oman is a rich country historically and with civilization. All love is from Saudi Arabia

i love oman 🇴🇲🇴🇲🇧🇩🇧🇩

Beautiful land .Masha Allah.

Wow! Not a single mention of hundreds of years of Omani slave trading in the East African coast. Nothing about Zanzibar slave plantations! Hundreds of millions Africans kidnapped, murdered, tortured, dehumanized etc,,and not a single mention of them!

Masha Allah. Long history but Oman empire was a friend with Somali Ajuran kingdoms in Mogadishu. They never colonize or control any Somali territory. ❤️ from somalia 🇸🇴

U cannot Speak Of Oman Histry Without Telling Zanzibar 😍

Oman 🇴🇲 🇴🇲 🇴🇲 🇴🇲 🇴🇲 🇴🇲 🇴🇲 🇴🇲

Ajuran kingdom use to colonize oman and we use to take tax from a form of money which we use to take from them to build our own army but guess what a hyena can't become a lion

I love oman from bangladesh 🇧🇩

Oman is a nice and amazing place to be. They are all nice personalities.

Oman is an amazing country.

Excellent documentary❤

Wow, such a beautiful place, I want to visit some day.

Somalia was never ruled by Oman, in fact, the sultan of Oman paid tribute to the Somali sultan

The Portuguese knew very well the Strategic Importance of Oman. That's the reason why they built the most important and impressive military engineering Buildings/ Fortresses of the 16th Century in Mascate, nowadays Oman capital city. For 146 years it was the Biggest and most Important military Portuguese base in Muslim Territory,and it was the last one to fall in all the Arabia. The Portuguese very soon realize that controlled Oman and the Strait,was the one with the " Upper Hand" in all the Trade between Asia,Africa and Europe. The Portuguese did Open the Door (Literally) for other European Nations try their luck in the Massive Profits waiting for them,from the Middle East to Japan,with India,China and many other lands in between.

Omani are the best people you find on earth humble and respecting living here ever welcomed

i love Oman

Somalia was never under the control of Oman or anyother Arab empire infact Somalia had it's own empires such as Ajuran which defeated the Portuguese invasion. The only east African coastal towns that were under the control of Oman was zanzibar, Kilwa, Malindi, Daresalam and Mombasa.

Its really beautiful country with tradition. I REALLY HOPE THRE IS NO PPL FROM OTHER COUNTRY THAT TRYNA BRING" WEIRD" CULTURE to oman .....

I love oman

I love Oman my Mother land.

I am going to Saudi Arabia and I will convert to Islam Alhamdulila

I miss Oman so much work there for 2 yrs i want to fo back Oman

I have been living here for the last 6 years..its relay peaceful country no doubt. I love oman

Somalia was never a part of Omani Sultanate.

Oman is beautiful and kind people

Al Jazeera should produce more beautiful documentaries about GCC countries and their Monarchies and the other defunct Middle Eastern Monarchies. you guys are good at political historical documentaries

I inherently love this country, subhanallah wonder why 😘🤔

20 minutes in and no mention of the East African slave trade for which the Omani were responsible, yet one of the commentators claimed that the Portuguese occupation of Oman was the biggest human tragedy in history (or words to that effect), curious.

Great research work Al Jazeera.Keep up d good work.

It's interesting that they say that we (the portuguese) colonised them. We never view and were never taught that Oman was a portuguese colony, only that we established trading and strategic ports along the coast. Besides that the sheikh of Muscat was allied with the portuguese. I have no clue why they are saying the portuguese were brutal, there is no information about that anywhere.

I love Oman..and other gulf countries..

I wanna visit here. Looks like a beautiful place! Keep seeing people say how friendly people are here. Definitely interested:)

Oman my next destination

Oman is the greatest country in the whole world.

I would love to visit Oman 🇴🇲 some day. I feel it is a nice place to be. I pray Allah gives me the means and the opportunity to go

27:28 For all those who keep on saying “Arabian” Gulf; this is a handwritten treaty from an arab country, written on it IN ARABIC: “PERSIAN” GULF

Excellent historical Document.

1700s 1800s: any coastal city through which merchants ships passed by charged a small levy as they passed the territorial waters. When the British merchant ships were asked to pay the levy/tax as their ships passed by Julfar , after trading with India and beyond, the British refused. Then when their ships were attacked by the Qawasim tribes, the British called them ‘pirates’ amd justified their naval attacks on them!

Oman did not control Ras Hafun at that time it was under the Majerteen Sultanate a real physical independent state that had trading relations with Oman and Omanis did not rule any other place in Somalia. This video should be reported for historical fabrication.

i love sultan kabuj

Would love to see more historical photos of Muscat

The narrator does a good job. Here, and on inside story.

l love Oman. l been in Salalah.. such a beautiful city and friendly people...

The Westerns countries only had wild animals when all this regions had tribes since the beginning of times.East Africa had a Queen that went to Jerusalén to meet King Salomon.She was the Queen of Sheba.
