The Sultanate also offers excellent infrastructural facilities and boasts of the most advanced telecommunication network in the world.
Oman also has one of the fast growing economies in the world today. A country that remained sheltered till the late 60’s, Oman caught the Arab nation by storm by its dynamic growth.
