All Middle Eastern countries are suffering from either instabilities, civil wars and have bad relationships with their neighbors.

Oman on the other hand are virtually untouched. They're also never mentioned on the media. They're like the most sane and politically mature country in the Middle East.

But not right any more
Today Iran send two warship to Oman to defend them from upcoming Saudi invasion

Its because Oman is neither Sunni nor Shia.

الإسلام في سلطنة عُمان هو الدين الرئيسي يتوزع المسلمون في عمان بين الإباضية وأهل السنة والجماعة وأقلية بسيطة من اتباع المذهب الشيعي. معظم العمانيين مسلمون ينتسبون للمذهب الأباضي بنسبة 55% [بحاجة لمصدر] و السنة تتجاوز نسبتهم 40 % وأقليات شيعية وبعض الطوائف الإسلامية الأخرى تشكل معظم السكان الباقين مع تواجد أقليات من غير المسلمين [بحاجة لمصدر]. أما من حيث تاريخ الإسلام في عمان -وفقا للمراجع العمانية- فأنها دخلت في الإسلام طوعا و بدون أي فتوحات إسلامية بتقدير النبي محمد و خلفائه الراشدين عليها، على الرغم من قوتها سياسيا في العالم قبل و بعد ظهور الإسلام[1]

55% of all Omanis are Ibadis (state-sponsored religion and the religion followed by the royal family) and 40% are Sunnis. A tiny minority are Shia.

Ibadism is much closer to Sunni Islam than Shia and arguably more orthodox than everyone else.

your bad this 22 is for period of three years and it is in khuzestan province not near to me
and the real number is 1 for last night

Well, worry about that. Oman has nothing to do with you. Nor will they ever side with you against their own blood and region (Arabia). Keep dreaming. The old childless Sultan is not going to rule forever and they are already a part of the Saudi Arabian-led Islamic Military Alliance.

I'm happy you brought this up.
Oman is a very beautiful and interesting country. I was there for a couple of weeks a few years ago. Even though most of my stay was in Muscat(the capital) and salalah to a lesser extent.
The country is kind of unique in the region, this I believe is mostly thanks to the strategic mentality of its Sultan(who funny enough was installed by Britain).It's no surprise that Oman is the single country in the region that maintains amicable relations with all of its neighbours, from Iran to Saudi Arabia.
It doesn't attract too much attention to itself, remaining rather neutral and peaceful(which I think is a very smart policy in this troubled region).:agree:. Its not nearly as developed as the UAE or Qatar, but also fairly open to Western cultures(I can attest to this). Not as restrictive as Iran, but traditional. Certainly not as fundamentalist as Saudi Arabia and not as turbulent as Yemen, but cultural understanding and respect are aspects which can be appreciated in the country.
And to make things even better when I visited the country I got my visa on arrival there(I believe, visas are available on arrival to a select westeen and middle eastern countries) on a rather stress free and very fast procedure.I'm surprised Oman doesn't attract more Tourists than it does today.
Overall, it is one of the best and most modern country I have been to in the region.
