Common themes include ancient trade routes, water management systems, and archaeological sites that reflect the country's long history and strategic location on the Arabian Peninsula. Notable sites include the Aflaj irrigation systems and the Land of Frankincense. Oman’s World Heritage nominations emphasize the preservation of traditional knowledge, historical continuity, and sustainable land use in arid environments.
