About
Nizwa.NET
Nizwa.NET
is a personal homepage maintained and paid for by Rashid Al-Yahyai since 2001. You can see how the site evolved over the years at The Web Archive. Nizwa.NET was
designed to provide information about the country OMAN for tourists and
researchers who do not speak Arabic. The site was started in Geocities
as "Nizwa Oasis" <http://www.geocities.com/rashid4>
in 1996 (see it then) but because of the heavy demand on this information, the site had to be
blocked if hits exceeded a specific bandwidth. It was unfortunate for
Nizwa Oasis especially after its publicity exceeded 1000 visitor per
month and reached New York
Times newspaper and the BBC
online.
Following
many requests from around the globe, Nizwa.NET was born to replace
"Nizwa Oasis". Still most of the visitors come from the
old site as this domain establishes its name as an independent
informative site that brings Oman to the world.
