Bronze Age graves in Ibri reveal Oman's Mesopotamian links
By OUR CORRESPONDENT Ibri – Ministry of Heritage and Tourism has announced that excavations in Dhahirah uncovered 25 tombs dating back to the 3rd millennium BC. The discovery was made in the Al Subaikhi area of Ibri during a project led by the Department of Heritage and Tourism in the governorate. According to Walid bin Awad al Ghafri, archaeology specialist in the department, the tombs contain skeletal remains alongside complete pottery items placed within burial chambers. Some of the pottery have been identified as imports from the Jemdet Nasr culture of Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq). Bronze Age beads made of stone and shells were also unearthed. Ghafri informed that a team of Omani and international specialists is currently engaged in studying and preserving the artefacts in line with international standards. Underlining the importance of the find, he said it sheds light on burial practices of ancient Omani societies and points to long-standing trade routes and cultural exchanges linking Oman with neighbouring civilisations. 'These findings not only enrich knowledge of ancient civilisations in the Arabian Peninsula but also enhance the value of Oman's cultural heritage, making the region an important site for archaeological research,' he added.

Eight Omani equestrians travel across Kyrgyztan on horseback
Eight Omani youth travel on horseback across Kyrgyzstan to showcase and promote Oman's cultural heritage and spirit of friendship Adventure, patriotism and a deep love for horsemanship came together when eight Omani riders embarked on a unique journey to promote the sultanate abroad. United by their passion for their homeland and the saddle, the team set off on horseback across the rugged landscapes of Kyrgyzstan, aiming to showcase Oman's tourism and cultural identity on the global stage. Armed with warm smiles and interesting folklore, these 'knights' carried the spirit of the sultanate across borders to simple spread brotherhood and goodwill. From June 20 to 28, the group, led by Said Abdullah al Mandhari, explored plains, valleys, rivers and mountains in a one-of-a-kind expedition that blended endurance, exploration and cultural exchange. The team members were Ahmed al Wardi, Mohammed al Rawahi, Murshid al Mamari, Salim al Mandhari, Mazin al Badri, Abdulrahman al Maharbi and Ahmed al Mandhari, besides Said. Speaking exclusively to Muscat Daily , Said described the trip as 'a comprehensive experience that combined adventure, horsemanship and exploration.' 'We travelled across several areas using vehicles and at each destination began our adventure on horseback, covering dozens of kilometres through plains, mountains, rivers and forests. The hallmarks of our trip were the Cold River Valley, the city of Tokmok, the Seven Bulls Valley, the Turgin Valley, and the famous Issyk-Kul Lake – an experience of breathtaking beauty.' He explained that Jeti Oguz – a picturesque mountain village known for its iconic red rock formations – left a lasting impression. 'Most tourists come for a few hours to take photos and leave. But when the day-trippers are gone, the village reveals its real charm – herders returning with their flocks, sunset over the red rocks, gentle hikes and a rich history. It was one of the most inspiring places we visited.' Promoting Oman abroad According to Said, the idea began as a friendly discussion among those conversant with riding and grew into an organised project once it received enthusiastic support. 'We chose Kyrgyzstan for its stunning nature, its challenging mountain terrain, and the cultural closeness – the Kyrgyz people truly value horses as much as we do.' The main goal, he stressed, was to represent Oman. 'Our trip was to promote Omani tourism and encourage young people to embark on sporting adventures, discover new cultures and challenge themselves. We wanted to highlight the identity of the Omani horseman with a modern spirit and raise the sultanate's flag in international forums.' The team leader noted that the journey also showcased the ability of Omani youth to take part in global adventures with confidence, building bridges with local communities and presenting the sultanate's values abroad. Planning and preparation Behind the successful ride lay months of preparation. 'We trained intensively for long-distance horseback riding, prepared specialised gear for the mountain climate, and coordinated with local companies to secure horses, accommodation, and transport,' Said explained. 'The trip was safe and well-organised, and at the same time, filled with unforgettable moments of hardship and beauty.' Looking ahead Calling this journey 'just the beginning', Said revealed that the team hopes to take Omani horsemanship to other countries while also hosting foreign riders in the sultanate. 'This will enhance Oman's position as a global tourist destination and strengthen cultural exchange.' Addressing Omani youth, he urged them to embrace adventure. 'Sport journeys build character, self-confidence and team spirit. The best part is about doing it under the nation's flag.' 'We thank everyone who supported us – family, friends, authorities, and the welcoming Kyrgyz communities. This experience taught us that even small ideas can grow if driven by passion and teamwork. We are proud to have been ambassadors for Oman on horseback and hope this adventure marks the start of greater projects that will raise the sultanate's name in international forums, Said asserted.
