Discover the Unknown

20 November, 2010

Rooms 8 & 9, Faculty of Asian & Middle Eastern Studies, University of Cambridge

For a long period of time, Oman was unknown to many people and only a small number of Western travellers managed to explore the country and record their visit and observations. Today Oman is celebrating 40 years of change and development that has touched every part of life and not least the intellectual thought.

This event attempts to shed light on the unknown Oman and highlight some ideas about this enchanting country.
