When the Sultan took power in 1970, his country was less developed than others in the Gulf. At that time there were only 5km of surfaced road in the entire country. There were only three primary schools and no secondary schools. One hospital was run by American missionaries.
Today however, Oman has a system of roads, housing, health care and schools to equal that of any other Gulf state.
