Oman - Renaissance Day
July 23 is Renaissance Day in Oman. This public holiday commemorates the anniversary of the day Sultan Qaboos bin Said al Said ascended the throne in 1970 and set a goal to end Oman's isolation.
Qaboos bin Said al Said is the son of Said bin Tamur, who became the sultan of Muscat and Oman in 1932. Said bin Tamur was a highly conservative, self-willed, stubborn and mistrustful ruler, which had a negative effect on the country's development. By the late 1960s, he had become erratic and paranoid in governing the country.
