Oman in the 80s: A Glimpse into Muscat’s Transformational Decade
The 1980s were a time of growth and change for Oman, particularly in Muscat. Under the leadership of His Late Majesty Sultan Qaboos, the country embarked on a journey of modernization while maintaining its deep cultural roots. Muscat, once a small port city, saw rapid development with new infrastructure, roads, and iconic buildings that shaped the city we know today.
The 80s also brought a shift in daily life, as the younger generation embraced new technologies, while the older generation held onto traditional values. It was a time of balancing progress with preservation, and the results are evident in the city’s unique blend of old and new architecture.
