    REGION
3. Muscats has a very hot climate it gets up to 120°F, and gets its annual rainfall from December to April. Matrah speaks mostly german. Oman is a country situated in Southwest Asia, bordering the Arabian sea, Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf. The majority of Oman are Ibadi Muslims, with most of the population adhering to the Ibadhi. Oman is a country in the Middle East. Oman’s small, open economy is driven mainly by energy. Tax rates are competitively low, and foreign investments is generally welcome. Oman has undertaken regulatory reforms and modernizes of its economy. Current GDP per capita has expanded continuously in the past 50 years. They are ruled by a Sultan. That’s basically a king. He makes all the decisions himself and the people don’t “vote” . He is in charge of everything from finances to the military. Political parties are not allowed in Oman. That means you don’t “pick a side” like we do here like democrat or republican. The Sultan’s picture is everywhere. Every business has to show a visible picture of the Sultan. Food in Oman is mainly a question of eating to live, rather than living to eat. The country’s culinary traditions offer an interesting blend of Arabian and Indian influences, although the stuff served up in most local cafés and restaurants generally consists of a predictable selection of shawarmas and biryanis, with maybe a few other Middle Eastern mezze and grills or Indian curries. Honourable exceptions exist, of course, but outside Muscat, good places to eat are few and far between.

     PLACE 
4. The northernmost part of Oman, the Musandam Peninsula, is separated from the rest of the country by a strip of land belonging to the United Arab Emirates. The peninsula is comprised of mostly low hills and mountains. In the North, a narrow and fertile coastal plain fronts the gulf of Oman; from there the land and rises into the rugged Hajar mountains. 

5.Oman’s language is mostly Arabic, and several Indian dialects are also spoken, especially in the cities of Muscat and Matrah.  The majority of Oman are Ibadi Muslims, with most of the population adhering to the Ibadhi. Even though Oman is a modern country, western influences are quite restricted. The Ibadi form of Islam is also conservative like Sunni Islam and Shi'aIslam. About 75% of Oman is Muslim.

6. The human characteristics that Oman shares is their religion with Muscat and Matrah is Ibadi Muslims.

    MOVEMENT
7. They are mostly are transported by airplanes because they said that Oman has 136 airports and that is a lot. But they are also transported by car because it says that there is a highway that links Nazwa in the north to Thamarit and Salalah in the Dhofar region.

8. People move into oman because the country is a gentle introduction to the Middle East. It is among the safest. There is not many political problems there. The pay is good. You would make more money in a job down in Oman then you would here in the U.S! People that live there that weren’t born there leave to see family and friends. They “miss home”. I can think  people that live there that were born there left because they got offered something better for them such as a job.

9.Oman is the 57th largest export economy in the world and the 68th most complex economy according to the Economic Complexity Index. In 2014, Oman exported $49.9B and imported $31.1B, resulting in a positive trade balance of $18.8B. In 2014 the GDP of Oman was $81.8B and its GDP per capita was $38.6k.

 HUMAN-ENVIRONMENT INTERACTION
11. Oman is a main port of trade for the Persian gulf and one of the main trading areas on the Indian Ocean. This was because of where the country is located. They have adapted to the fact that not as much trade happens by the boat as it has for hundreds before so they have looked for ways to make progress in other areas. Oman is ranked 25th in the world for their oil business. That’s pretty high but not nearly as high as the countries that are around Oman. Oman has also adapted to their environment by making tourism a big part of their economic success and they are becoming more modern by allowing women to work in jobs that other surroundings countries only let men work in. They are a very peaceful nation when the nations around them have a lot of political turmoil. I think the Omanis (that's what they call themselves) are really a modern blend of the Middle East and the Westerners.(That’s what they call us Americans. They call us westerners because we are to the west of them when you look at the world map.)

11. Most Omanis live in Muscat because Coming back to the question, life is mostly very peaceful here. No hustle or bustle like for instance, in the neighbouring Dubai in the UAE. Things in Oman take their own sweet time to happen. Also Muscat, Oman is predominantly a very quaint and traditional society where family life is given utmost importance. For the locals, family comes first naturally, before everything else.

12.Oman's location at the entrance to the Persian Gulf for centuries made it an entrepôt for trade, including a substantial traffic in arms and slaves. Its prosperity declined in the 19th century, when, as a result of Western dominance in Asia, traditional trade patterns and communications routes were radically changed. Oman's economy then became predominantly dependent on agriculture and fishing.Oman is a 1,000-mile-long (1,700 km) coastal plain at the southeast tip of the Arabian Peninsula lying on the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman. It is bordered by the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen. The country is the size of Kansas. They are related because Oman is a main port of trade for the Persian gulf and one of the main trading areas on the Indian Ocean. This was because of where the country is located.
