newsBriefsOman
Welcome to Newsbriefsoman
Businessmen, travellers and tourists from America, Europe, Asia and Australasia, wanting to visit the Sultanate of Oman, may wish to find out more about the business, financial and social background of this country in the Persian Gulf, which borders Dubai and the other United Arab Emirates (UAE).

This website, in its previous incarnation, used to host an archive of Oman news summaries compiled from February 2001 to support such research by presenting business, political and development news about the Sultanate. With the availability of new software solutions, I have changed the ethos of the website so that I comment on issues which I select from articles published primarily in the Omani English-language press: the Oman Observer and the Times of Oman, and also the regional press, notably Gulf News and Khaleej Times, whilst maintaining listings of headlines, Royal Decrees, and Omani public figures.

I have also transferred most of the feature articles which used to appear on the old website. Please use the search facility to trace the item in which you might be interested.

Much business and economic information, which appears in the in-country newspapers, is not otherwise easily accessible. Both the Times of Oman and the Oman Observer now have searchable daily archives but they are limited in scope.

Should you require more detail, or you would like more recent information, or if you can't find what you're looking for, please contact me to enquire about tariffs and to request a deeper, broader search of resources.
