What is happening
Oman will host a GCC history and archaeology forum in Dhofar, organised by the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism, with participation of more than 180 experts, according to The Arabian Stories.
The forum is scheduled to run for three days. It will include scientific sessions over two days featuring 30 research papers.
Scope of the programme
The research papers will cover the history, archaeology, heritage and culture of the Gulf states across different historical periods. The programme draws on archaeological surveys and field studies.
Why it matters for Oman and the region
- Tourism and destination positioning: Academic and heritage events in Dhofar can support cultural tourism narratives and help highlight the governorate’s historical assets.
- Heritage sector expertise: Bringing GCC specialists together can strengthen professional networks around heritage management, research methods and preservation priorities.
- Regional cooperation: GCC-wide forums can contribute to shared understanding of cross-border heritage themes that matter for museums, cultural institutions and visitor economy planning.
