Oman, officially the Sultanate of Oman, is a country on the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula in Western Asia. Located in a strategically important position at the mouth of the Arabian Gulf, the country shares land borders with the United Arab Emirates to the northwest, Saudi Arabia to the west, and Yemen to the southwest, and shares marine borders with Iran and Pakistan. The coast is formed by the Arabian Sea on the southeast and the Gulf of Oman in the northeast. The Madha and Musandam exclaves are surrounded by the UAE on their land borders, with the Strait of Hormuz (which it shares with Iran) and the Gulf of Oman forming Musandam’s coastal boundaries.
The total area of Oman is 309,500 km2 (119,500 sq mi) and Oman’s population is over 4 million, with 2.23 million Omani nationals and 1.76 million expatriates.

Economy
Oman has a relatively diversified economy but remains dependent on oil exports. In terms of monetary value, mineral fuels accounted for 82.2 percent of total product exports in 2018. Tourism is the fastest-growing industry in Oman. Other sources of income, agriculture, and industry are small in comparison and account for less than 1% of the country’s exports, but diversification is seen as a priority by the government. Agriculture, often subsistence in its character, produces dates, limes, grains, and vegetables, but with less than 1% of the country under cultivation, Oman is likely to remain a net importer of food.
Oil revenues represent roughly two-fifths of gross domestic product (GDP) and about three-fourths of the government’s income.
Oman is refurbishing and expanding the ports infrastructure in Muscat, Duqm, Sohar, and Salalah to expand tourism, local production, and export shares. Oman is also expanding its downstream operations by constructing a refinery and petrochemical plant in Duqm with 230,000 barrels per day capacity projected for completion by 2021. The majority of industrial activity in Oman takes place in 8 industrial states and 4 free-zones. The industrial activity is mainly focused on mining-and-services, petrochemicals and construction materials

Tourism
Tourism in Oman has grown considerably recently, and it is expected to be one of the largest industries in the country. The World Travel & Tourism Council stated that Oman is the fastest-growing tourism destination in the Middle East.
Tourism contributed 2.8 percent to the Omani GDP in 2016. It grew from RO 505 million (US$1.3 billion) in 2009 to RO 719 million (US$1.8 billion) in 2017 (+42.3 percent growth). Citizens of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), including Omanis who are residing outside of Oman, represent the highest ratio of all tourists visiting Oman, estimated to be 48 percent. The second-highest number of visitors come from other Asian countries, who account for 17 percent of the total number of visitors.
With long coastlines, dramatic mountain scenery, and many historic sites, including four UNESCO heritage sites, the tourism sector is a focal point of diversification. Major tourist attractions are Muscat Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, Royal Opera House, The National Museum, Salalah beaches, Nizwah, Wahiba sands, and other beautiful sites.
