The long history of Omani independence had prepared the country for its entry into the modern age. Now all that was necessary was the right leader to effect the country’s transition. That leader was Qaboos bin Said, a man who has come to personify a transformation so dramatic it can only be called a renaissance (nahda). Qaboos bin Said is by any measure an exceptional man. He has shepherded a country, formerly stagnant and suspended in time, into the twenty-first century. Oman is today a “good news” story, a story of success: stable, harmonious, and optimistic. This herculean task has been accomplished with courage and conviction, intelligence and vision.
