The Middle East. Arabs. What are they? Who are they? And are they really that different? Well, like any other group of people, you cannot bunch them up into one homogeneous group that encompasses all differences. One thing that is important to remember about Arabs is that they are not a race; Arabs are peoples who speak Arabic, meaning that the Arab peoples encompass various races and religions, ranging from regional beliefs, to Islam and from Christianity to Judaism (and everything in between). And the cultures are just as diverse as the peoples themselves.

Featured in August 2006 Edition  Silver would be the color to describe the Omani capital with. This otherwise surprisingly green city is dominated by a hidden shine, and the aura of a thousand and one nights! Subtly traditional, the city emerges on a wonderful hill-sight on the very tip of the Arabian Peninsula, overlooking the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Acting representatively for the entire sultanate, Muscat is the perfect incarnation of the modern Oman, and its recent development, keeping the perfect balance between tradition and modern development.
