Oman is known for its diversity, but one particular type of landscape dominates the area and has a significant impact on the climate and living conditions. This geographical feature influences settlements, infrastructure and the traditional way of life. Your knowledge of regions in the Middle East will help you to correctly answer the following question: Which type of landscape dominates most of Oman’s territory in percentage terms?
In this Oman quiz, we then direct your attention to the south, where the climate differs significantly from the rest of the country. A special region is influenced by seasonal winds that regularly bring moisture, creating a green landscape. This climatic peculiarity clearly stands out from the otherwise dry environment and is also economically relevant for agriculture and tourism. You can score points with the correct answer to this question: In which region in the south of Oman does the monsoon create a green oasis?
The north of the country is dominated by a striking mountain range which is geographically significant. It’s also known for its name which refers to its comparatively fertile vegetation. With cooler temperatures, it forms a stark contrast to the surrounding dry areas and offers agricultural opportunities. Do you know which mountain range is also called the “Green Mountain”? Your geographical knowledge of mountain ranges in the Middle East will certainly help you to answer this question correctly.
