An enclave is a section of land belonging to one nation, but entirely surrounded by another land. An exclave is a section of land belonging to one nation, but separated by one or more other lands. Oman has two exclaves, Musandam and Madha. Both are separated from the Omani mainland by the United Arab Emirates.

Camelus dromedarius - The dromedary camel is native to the Arabian Peninsula. It was domesticated about 4,000 years ago. The dromedary is ideally suited for desert environments: the nostrils narrow or close to conserve water, the eyes feature double eyelashes to keep sand out, and the foot pads spread out wide to support the weight pressing against the soft sand. The most important feature is the hump. The hump is not used to store water; it serves as a fat reserve when food sources are unavailable.
