This book pays tribute to the development of Omani settlement structures that defined the bio-physical and climatic conditions characteristics of the harsh conditions on the Arabian Peninsula. It also highlights the treats that Omani oases face from the recent modernisation processes that have profoundly transformed their physical cultural and economic basis.
