Oman is a sultanate on the Arabian Peninsula with a population of around 4.5 million. Capital: Muscat. Official language: Arabic. Currency: Omani rial (OMR). It is considered one of the safest and most stable countries in the Middle East. It has a maritime and trading tradition stretching back thousands of years — Omani sailors reached India and the African coast centuries before the modern era. Dhofar, in the south, is famous for its production of frankincense — Oman is the world’s leading producer. UNESCO World Heritage Sites include the Aflaj irrigation system and the historic cities of Oman.

  • Oman enjoys excellent diplomatic relations with Italy and the EU as a whole
  • Italian exports to Oman: machinery, port infrastructure, yachts and luxury boats (Oman’s maritime tradition is fascinating), fashion and design
  • Oman has become a trendy holiday destination for Italians: its medieval fortresses, the Wahiba Sands desert, the Musandam fjords and the Salalah coastline are attracting more and more visitors
  • The Italian community in Oman is active in the energy, construction and consultancy sectors
  • ENI is active in Oman’s upstream oil sector — a stream of Italian technicians is heading to Oman
