Sultanate of Muscat and Oman appears on the map from 1900 to 1969. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1922, it covered about 329,358 km².
One of the realms of Omani Empire (Muscat, Oman and Zanzibar). In 1650 Imam Sultan bin Saif of the Yaruba dynasty drove the Portuguese out of Muscat, and Omani fleets went on to seize Portuguese strongholds on the East African coast, taking Fort Jesus at Mombasa in 1698. Under the Al Said dynasty, founded by Ahmad bin Said in 1744, Oman built a maritime trading empire across the western Indian Ocean.
