This research addresses the importance of the Port of Muscat in the Gulf region (1832–1900). Muscat served as the gateway to the Arabian Gulf, enabling it to control the flow of trade in the region and thus acquire significant economic importance throughout various historical periods. Its port was one of the most active in the Gulf region. Muscat became the capital of Oman and the Sultan's residence by the late 18th century. It is also considered the key access point to the Indian Ocean, linking the entrance of the Gulf with the Indian Ocean.
During the reign of Sayyid Said bin Sultan (1806–1856), Muscat’s economic role became especially prominent in the Gulf. A naval fleet had been established earlier under Sultan Ahmad bin Said in 1749, facilitating trade between Muscat’s port and others throughout the Gulf. Muscat became known for its transit trade with ports along the Omani coast. The economic prominence of Muscat's port can be attributed in part to the policies of the Al Busaid dynasty, who prioritized the development of the port.
Ports across the Gulf region relied on Muscat for their commercial activities, particularly for goods that were in high demand, such as sugar and coffee imported from Yemeni ports. Additionally, Muscat was one of the main gateways for the slave trade into the Gulf and its coasts. The reign of Sultan Faisal bin Turki (1888–1913) marked the peak of arms trade activity in Muscat.
The study is divided into several sections, beginning with an introduction to Oman's geography, followed by the impact of Muscat’s location on its regional activity, a summary of conditions in Muscat and the operations of its port, and concluding with the study’s main findings. The research also includes an extensive list of sources and references relevant to the topic.
