    OMAN STUDIES CENTRE
    for Documentation and Research on Oman and the Arabian Gulf
    Aims and purposes
    The Oman Studies Centre was founded in Germany in 1975 as a documentation centre on Oman and the Arabian Gulf. It is an independent, non-governmental and non-profit academic institution which mainly collects information on Oman to assist and coordinate research on Oman and to promote interest in Oman. In line with the Centre's interdisciplinary area studies approach, fields of interest cover a wide range from Oman's history, geography, culture, economy, arts, law, language, natural history and even include more marginal topics such as philately and numismatics.
    In particular, the Oman Studies Centre aims at
    • encouraging the study of Oman's history and of the social, economic and cultural conditions in the Sultanate of Oman
    • facilitating access to information and publications on Oman
    • compiling bibliographic references on Oman and preparing bibliographies
    • promoting and coordinating research on Oman
    • providing up-to-date and correct information on Oman to researchers, travellers, journalists and businesspeople
    Geographical scope
    The geographical area covered by the Oman Studies Centre is that of the present-day Sultanate of Oman as well as areas which historically belonged to Oman or have been under Omani influence in the past (such as Sahil Uman - now the UAE -, the Makran coast of Iran and Pakistan, Zanzibar, and the East African coast).

    http://www.salamiran.org/IranInfo/General/Geography/
    Location
    Iran is situated in south-western Asia and borders the three CIS states, the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the Republic of Turkmenistan, as well as the Caspian Seas to the north, Turkey and Iraq to the west, the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman to the south and Pakistan and Afghanistan to the east.
    LANDSCAPE
    A series of massive, heavily eroded mountain ranges surround Iran's high interior basin. Most of the country is above 1,500 feet, one-sixth of it over 6,500 high. In sharp contrast are the coastal regions outside the mountain ring. In the north, the 400-mile strip along the Caspian Sea, never more than 70 miles wide and frequently narrowing to 10, falls sharply from the 10,000-foot summit to 90 feet below sea level. In the south, the land drops away from a 2,000 foot plateau, backed by a rugged escarpment three times as high, to meet the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.
    Mountains The Zagros range stretches from the border with the Republic of Armenia in the north-west to the Persian Gulf, and then eastward into Baluchistan. As it moves southward, it broadens into a 125-mile-wide band of parallel, alternating mountains lying between the plains of Mesopotamia and the great central plateau of Iran. It is drained on the west by streams that cut deep, narrow gorges and water fertile valleys. The land is extremely hard, difficult to access, and populated largely by pastoral nomads.

    Photo courtesy of Valerie Hoffman The Sultanate of Oman occupies the southeast corner of the Arabian Peninsula, with coastline facing the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman. Environmental protection is a priority of the Sultanate, and the United Nations Environmental Program has credited the country as having one of the best records in conservation, pollution control, and efforts to maintain ecological balance. Considerable geographic and climatic variety exists throughout the country, with desert along the western border and a lush monsoon climate in the south. A number of protected nature reserves and wildlife sanctuaries are scattered throughout the country. Grassy parks and gardens are prominent features of Oman's cities.
    Arabic is the official language of Oman and three-quarters of the population is Ibadhi Muslim. Muscat, the capital, is a relaxed, cosmopolitan city, with great concern directed at aesthetic blending of modern development and historical structures.
