Dhofar

Dhofar is een gouvernement van Oman. Het gebied heeft een oppervlakte van 99.300 km². Volgens de volkstelling van 2010 telde het gebied 249.729 inwoners, waarvan 164.073 Omani's. In 2003 waren er 215.960 inwoners. Geschiedenis Dhofar stond al vroeg bekend als producent en exporteur van wierook. Het kostbare wierookhars werd geëxporteerd naar Rome, Griekenland, India en China. In de 6e eeuw werd de Dhofar veroverd door de Sassaniden en dit was gelijk een keerpunt in de wierookhandel. De export daalde en de welvaart nam af. Er waren in de daarop volgende eeuwen contacten met Noord-Oman maar pas in 1879 werd Dhofar definitief door de Noord-Omani geannexeerd. Dhofar lag geïsoleerd, ver van het machtscentrum en was daarom op zichzelf aangewezen. Vanaf 1958 verbleef de Sultan Said Bin Taimur meer in Salalah dan in Muscat, maar Dhofar heeft hier niet van geprofiteerd. Dhofar was een opstandige provincie in de recente historie. Medio 20e eeuw was in de meest zuidelijk provincie een bevrijdingsfront actief. Dit front was een verzameling van verschillende marxistisch-leninistisch geïnspireerde groeperingen. Het doel was Dhofar af te scheiden van de rest van Oman. Sultan Said Bin Taimur deed volgens het front te weinig voor de ontwikkeling van het gebied en was corrupt. In het begin was het front succesvol en slaagde erin de provincie grotendeels te beheersen. Ze kregen hierbij steun uit de buurlanden Saoedi-Arabië en Jemen en van Russische en Chinese adviseurs. In 1970 werd de sultan door zijn zoon, sultan Qaboes bin Said Al Said, afgezet. Met hulp van het Britse leger slaagde de jonge sultan erin de opmars van het front te stoppen. In 1971 trok het Britse leger zich terug en namen Iraanse officieren de strijd over. In oktober 1975 was de strijd teneinde en kon de sultan zijn gezag vestigen in de hoofdstad van Dhofar, Salalah. De oud strijders van het front kregen een amnestieregeling waarvan velen gebruik hebben gemaakt. Sport Sinds 2021 vindt jaarlijks de wielerwedstrijd Ronde van Salalah plaats in dit gouvernement. Indeling Het gouvernement omvat de volgende districten (wilayat) en hun aantal inwoners in 2010: Al Mazyunah 8.039 Dalkut 2.809 Mirbat 13.919 Muqshin 1.069 Rakhyut 4.501 Sadah 6.384 Salalah 172.570 Shalim Wa Juzur & Al Hallaniyat 8.697 Taqah 18.218 Thumrayt 13.523

Дофар

Дофа́р (араб. محافظة ظُفار‎) — мухафаза (после 2011 года) в Султанате Оман. Административный центр — город Салала. Площадь — 99 300 км², население — 249 729 человек (2010 год). География Расположен на юге страны. На северо-востоке граничит с регионом Эль-Вуста, на северо-западе Саудовской Аравией, на юго-западе с Йеменом. В состав мухафазы входят острова Куриа-Муриа. В Дофаре с середины августа до конца сентября дуют муссоны. Это приводит к тому, что в это время и до тех пор, пока влага не испаряется, в Дофаре можно встретить пышную растительность. Временно влажный климат Дофара резко контрастирует с соседней пустыней Руб-эль-Хали. Население До сих пор часть населения Дофара продолжает использовать южноаравийские языки, в частности шехри — горный диалект юга Омана, имеющий общие корни с мехри, на котором говорят в Йемене. Административное деление Губернаторство Дофар делится на 10 вилайетов с центрами в городах: Салала Далькут Эль-Мазьюна Мирбат Мукшин Рахьют Садах Шалим и острова Халланьят Така Тумрайт Экономика Исторически является основным производителем ладана в мире. Тем не менее, ладан сейчас в губернаторстве находит лишь местное применение. Основной экспортёр — Сомали. Раньше в Салале большие территории культивировались с помощью сложной системы ирригации. Во время Второй мировой войны сельскохозяйственной продукции почти хватало, чтобы обеспечить большой британский контингент в Месопотамии.

Guvernat Dofar

Dofar (arabsko ظفار, latinizirano: Zufār) je po površini največji guvernat (arabsko محافظة, latinizirano: muḥāfaẓa) v Omanskem sultanatu na Arabskem polotoku. Leži v južnem Omanu ob vzhodni jemenski meji. Je pretežno gorat, meri 99.300 km² in ima 250.000 prebivalcev (2010). Največje mesto in hkrati upravno središče guvernata je Salala. Regija je bila v preteklosti največji vir kadila na svetu. Prebivalci Dofar je geografsko sestavljen iz obalnega, gorskega, ravninskega in puščavskega dela. Njegovi prebivalci se identificirajo kot Jeballi, ki živijo v goratem delu ali iz njega izvirajo, Badavi, ki živijo v puščavi ali iz nje izvirajo ali kot Hadari, ki živijo v mestih in naseljih. Medtem ko so se arabsko govoreči prebivalci Arabskega polotoka v Omanu naselili predvsem v mestih in večjih naseljih, je Dofar tradicionalna domovina mnogo plemen, ki govorijo različne južnoarabske semitske jezike. Najbolj razširjen je džebali (šehri), ki ga govorijo gorska plemena Al-Hakli (Qara), Al-Shahri, Al-Barami, Al-Mashaiki in Al-Bat'hari. Z njim je nekoliko povezan jemenski jezik mehri. Druge domorodne skupine govorijo manjše jezike, kakršen je na primer bathari, ki ga govorijo v obalnih mestih Šuvajmija in Šarbitat. Beduinsko pleme Harasi, ki živi v puščavi Jiddat al-Harasis in ima 1000-2000 članov, ki govorijo jezik harusi. Zgodovina Leta 2011 so na nahajališču Aybut Al Auwal v vadiju Aybut odkrili več kot sto najdišč z raztresenimi ostanki kamnitih orodij. Ostanki pripadajo poznemu nubijskemu kompleksu, ki je bil pred tem znan samo v severovzhodni Afriki. Z luminiscenčno metodo so ugotovili, da je kompleks star 106.000 let. Pred ustanovitvijo Omana je Dofar spadal v Sultanat Kathiri, v katerem so imela glavno besedo plemena Al-Hakli (Qara), po katerih se imenuje gorska veriga Qara. Domneva se, da so bili prvotni prebivalci Omana prav Al-Hakli. Dofar je bil že v davnini glavni proizvajalec kadila, s katerim se je trgovalo vse do Kitajske. Med prvo svetovno vojno je pridelal dovolj hrane in žita, da je z njo oskrboval britansko vojsko, ki se je vojskovala v Mezopotamiji. V letih 1965-1975 je bila v Omanu državljanska vojna med različnimi političnimi stranmi, v katero so se vmešavali tudi tujci. V vojni so zmagale sultanove sile, ki so jih podpirali Združeno kraljestvo, Iran, Pakistan in Indija. Zadnji uporniki so se vdali decembra 1975. Mormonski učenjaki so Dofar poistovetili z deželo Bountiful iz Mormonove knjige, iz katere je nomadska družina Lehi na ladji, ki jo je zgradil njihov sin Naphi, odplula v Novi svet. Podnebje Dofar ima subtropsko podnebje. Dofar in severni del Jemna sta od sredine junija do sredine septembra izpostavljena jugovzhodnemu monsunu, ki ga imenujejo khareef (arabsko خريف, dob. 'jesen'). Med monsunom vse ozeleni, kar traja, dokler je še kaj vode. Vsaj del leta trajajoče vlažno podnebje se ostro razlikuje od bližnjega puščavskega podnebja. Planota Salala je imela v preteklosti dovršen namakalni sistem in bila vzorno obdelana. Sklici

Al Tijaria Tower

Al Tijaria Tower (Arabic: برج التجارية) is a skyscraper in Sharq, Kuwait. The tower is characterized by a two degree wrap between one floor and the other. Profile The tower is located across from the Al Shaheed Park, the building area is 4,293.6 m2 (46,216 sq ft). The form of Al Tijaria Tower (also known as the Kuwait Trade Center) is inspired by a spiral or helix. The body of the tower “twists” by 80 degrees as it climbs from the ground level to the top-most occupied floor. The tower plate is organized with a circular-shaped core located in the center of the floor. A concentric ring of structural columns allows for variation in slab edge location while keeping columns vertically aligned from floor to floor. This slab edge adjustment creates a twisted exterior massing for the tower. The tower features internal, vertically stacked, six-story-high atrium gardens rising through the height of the tower. The stacked atrium gardens spin around the center of the plate, creating a dynamic twisted space rising through the tower. The exterior cladding design of the tower is a smooth aluminum and glass unitized curtain wall system. Materials include insulated blue-tinted vision and spandrel glass with selected use of silver aluminum panels. Glazing the atrium is insulated “clear” low-E glass (with custom ceramic frit pattern to control solar heat gain) supported by a stainless steel point-fixation system. Contrasting the tower, the podium is clad in a combination of natural stone and pre-cast concrete. The Tower is composed of a five-story podium shopping mall, with an open-to-sky garden terrace on the podium roof, and an office tower rising above. The structural system of the shopping mall is a waffle slab with columns located on a 9 m × 9 m (30 ft × 30 ft) grid. Office floors are reinforced concrete slabs supported on structural steel beams. The floor plates rotate 2.0 degrees clockwise as they rise. Horizontal stability was provided using a number of strong core walls together with a 21 m (69 ft) diameter core wall in the tower area. The twelve equally-spaced tower columns are reinforced concrete, or composite with steel built up sections.

Dhat Irq

Dhat Irq (Arabic: ذَات عِرْق, romanized: Ḏāt ʿIrq) is a miqat and archaeological site in Mecca Province, Saudi Arabia. Etymology According to the traveller Yaqut al-Hamawi, the name Dhāt 'Irq is derived from a similarly-named mountain located in the Hijaz. Function Dhat Irq is a miqat, a place where the pilgrims going on the Hajj enter the state of ihram and subsequently wear the prescribed clothing for the event. The miqat of Dhat Irq, however, is usually visited by the pilgrims who come from Iraq and Khorasan. The place is also where caravans and tour groups on the destination for pilgrimage stop to rest and meet. There is a large mosque at Dhat Irq for pilgrims to pray at, as well as additional facilities like hostels, toilets and a shopping centre. The site has also been classified as an archaeological site. History Classical antiquity In 599 BCE, the Neo-Babylonian ruler, Nebuchadnezzar II, invaded the Arabian Peninsula and fought against the Arab tribes in the region. The forces of Nebuchadnezzar II and Adnan, the ruler of Mecca at the time, clashed at Dhat Irq where a battle ensued. The subsequent victory was indecisive. According to the Islamic traditions, the Biblical prophet Jeremiah was involved in keeping the young Ma'ad ibn Adnan safe from harm. Late Antiquitiy In November 624 CE, the Sahabi and military commander Zayd ibn Harithah was sent on an expedition to Dhat Irq by the Islamic prophet Muhammad. However, the prophet himself did not participate in the expedition, as was the custom for a sariyya. Early Middle Ages Dhat Irq held importance to the Shi'ites after their Imam (Leader) Husayn ibn Ali had stayed there for a while to rest on his journey to the city of Kufa from his hometown. Husayn had a conversation with a local from Banu Asad about the situation in Kufa and discussed the exegesis of the seventeenth chapter of the Quran, which is Al-Isra'. The scholar Tahir al-Samawi reports that Husayn had a meeting with the sons of Abdullah ibn Ja'far and some Umayyad government officials in Dhat Irq. Modern history A foundation stone for a project to modernize Dhat Irq was laid in 2010 under the orders of Khalid bin Faisal Al Saud, the governor of Mecca. As of 2019, a mosque has been constructed at the site as well as pilgrim hostels and commercial centres, including shops and retail stores.
