Muscat Village and School
Through humanitarian projects in China, Oman has revisited key chapters in its relationship with Beijing, most notably the creation of “Muscat Village” in Sichuan Province after the 2008 earthquake. The project included building 350 homes, a girls’ boarding school, and service facilities. It took about 10 months, with villagers taking part in the construction. Oman also helped rebuild the historic Xuanju Mosque in Fujian. According to former Omani ambassador Abdullah bin Saleh al-Saadi, the mosque dates back approximately 1,200 years. Oman later handed its administration over to the local municipality. The two projects highlight an Omani approach that combines aid with lasting impact and respect for local communities’ autonomy.
