Infrastructure
The infrastructure in Oman is one of the factors that has contributed to the extreme economic growth and the upturn in the country in recent decades.
The economic development of Oman goes hand in hand with the development in other countries that have benefited from oil discoveries in the Persian Gulf. In particular, the United Arab Emirates are comparable here, only with a significant difference: While each emirate is just a small country, Oman is almost the size of the Federal Republic of Germany. Developing a functioning infrastructure here,roads, railways and a public transport system is a mammoth project.
The air traffic has also grown and developed in recent decades. But to achieve the economic miracle in the large state at the Gulf, pipelines and ports had to be built first to transport the oil and gas abroad. For the ports of Oman were not really suitable for large and modern foreign trade before the oil discoveries. A lot of work has been done in all these areas here in the country.
