歷史:
阿曼的歷史可追朔至5000千年前;在西元前三世紀時於此地區建立了一個稱為Magan的帝國,即為阿曼的前身,它以生產銅和乳香而聞名。在西元前五百六十年到西元兩百年之間,阿曼地區曾受波斯人所統治,到西元六世紀時,一些信仰回教的部落才將波斯人逐出。到了西元七世紀中整個阿曼地區皆信奉回教。在1507年時葡萄牙人佔領了阿曼,到1650年時,Sultan bin Saif 率眾驅逐葡萄牙人,阿曼正式獨立成為一個王國。多條海陸貿易路線交錯於阿曼,貿易路線曾遠達東非洲與中國。在十七世紀時阿曼可說是個強國,當時統治的領土遠達東非的桑吉巴、部份的波斯和今日的巴基斯坦。
前任國王Sultan Qaboos於1970年即位(卒於2020年),當時他只有30歲,因接受西方教育使他了解現代化的重要,Sultan Qaboos即位後大力改革,將阿曼建設成一個現代化國家。

History:
Little is known about Oman’s preIslamic past but it is clear from recent archaeological discoveries and research that early civilizations existed at least 5000 years ago.
Sumerian tablets refer to a country named “Magan” as a source of copper. It seems certain that they referred to Oman. Evidence from excavations near Sohar shows that the copper mining and smelting industry was well developed by the year 2000 BC.
In the early 16th century after the Portuguese under Vasco de Gama had discovered the sea route round the Cape of Good Hope to India, they occupied Muscat for a century and a half in order to dominate the trade which had until then been an Arab monopoly. The Portuguese were expelled from Muscat in 1650 by Sultan bin Saif al-Yarubi. Oman reached its zenith as a regional power with possessions on both sides of the Gulf and in East Africa. His Majesty Sultan Qaboos was Sultan of Oman from 1970-2020. His reign was the beginning of a bright new era that renewed Oman’s historic glories and opened a new chapter of development, prosperity and social and economic progress.
