Overview <p>The oldest independent state in the Arab world, Oman is one of the more traditional countries in the Gulf region and was, until the 1970s, one of the most isolated. </p> <p>Occupying the south-east corner of the Arabian peninsula, it has a strategically important position at the mouth of the Gulf. </p> <p>At one time Oman had its own empire, which at its peak in the 19th century stretched down the east African coast and vied with Portugal and Britain for influence in the Gulf and Indian Ocean. </p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-14654150">Full Article</a> <p> Yemen has been at the crossroads of Africa, the Middle East and Asia for thousands of years thanks to its position on the ancient spice routes. It is one of the possible locations for the Biblical kingdom of Sheba.</p> <p>The Romans knew this fertile country as Arabia Felix, in contrast to the relatively barren Arabia Deserta to the north. </p> <p>The modern Republic of Yemen was born in 1990 when traditional North Yemen and Communist South Yemen merged after years of clashes. Since unification Yemen has been slowly modernising and opening up to the world, but still retains much of its tribal character. </p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-14704852">Full Article</a>
