    034: Sultan of Oman

    In this episode of the Sultanate, I talk about the life and death of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said. On this day, July 23, in 1970, Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said took power from his father Sultan Said bin Taimur Al Said in a coup d’état. This was the day that the Sultanate of Oman entered into its renaissance, and this day is celebrated as Renaissance Day. Who is Sultan Qaboos, what is the renaissance, and why is he revered among Omanis? Learn more at the associated episode post on my website.

He's written several articles for Small Wars Journal, and he's previously discussed Oman on the War College podcast and the International Spy Museum podcast, called Spycast.

    030: Oman's Climate

    The best time to visit Oman is... well, it depends on a lot of factors. The climate and weather being the most significant. Just like the British, it seems us Omani residents discuss the weather, a lot. Usually it’s something like, “It’s really hot today,” or “Wow, the humidity came out of nowhere.”  There is no hiding the fact that Oman is a hot, desert country. We are within the tropic latitudes, and hold a portion of worlds largest sand desert within our boundaries. High temperatures are in the forecast no matter how you look at it. However, the climate or weather shouldn’t deter you from visiting. In this episode of the Sultanate I discuss the different climate regions of Oman and give my opinions on the best times to visit Oman. Now I want to hear from you. Do you have and opinion on the best time to visit Oman, or a weather related travel story from Oman? I want hear it. Leave me a note in the comments.
