Download or read book Geology of the Oman Mountains Eastern Arabia written by Mike Searle and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-24 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes in detail numerous geological sites throughout the mountains of Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in Eastern Arabia. The region is well known for its oil and gas reserves in the desert interior, and Permian-Mesozoic shelf carbonates exposed in the mountains of the Musandam peninsula, Jebel al-Akhdar and Saih Hatat, where deep wadi canyons provide impressive three-dimensional views into the crust. The region has numerous globally important geological sites, including the world’s largest and best-exposed ophiolite complex, the Semail Ophiolite, which is a vast thrust sheet of Cretaceous ocean crust and upper mantle emplaced onto the Arabian continental margin. Other sites include spectacular fossil localities, subduction zone metamorphic rocks (eclogites, blueschists, amphibolites), fold-thrust belts, giant sheath folds and Precambrian salt domes, as well as the huge sand dunes of the Rub al’Khali, the Empty Quarter, and the separate Wahiba (Sharkiyah) sandsea of Eastern Oman. Written by Mike Searle, who has worked on geological research projects throughout Oman and UAE almost every year since 1978, this book describes the field geology of each site and includes a wealth of maps, field photos and diagrams illustrating key features. It also discusses the history of exploration of Arabia and the search for its hidden geological secrets. The book provides the geological basis for the establishment of a series of World Heritage Sites, National GeoParks and Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) throughout the region. As such, it is of interest to geologists, tourists, mountaineers, trekkers, rock climbers and naturalists.

Download or read book Saudi Arabia written by Bob Gibbons and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-04 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complementary to our new book A Traveller's Guide to Saudi Arabia, this colour picture book brings the amazing sites of this elusive country to life. Recently opened for tourism, Saudi Arabia is a revelation for discerning travellers and intrepid explorers. This vast country has a wealth of hidden treasures. Much more than empty desert, its truly astonishing sights include ancient mud cities and archaeological sites, Neolithic rock art, towering mountain ridges and exotic oases. Off-limits to non-Muslims, the holy shrines of Islam have seen a never-ending stream of pilgrims over the centuries. The vast empty desert has a special enchantment: strange outcrops, whispering dunes and eerie canyons lie silent under luminescent starry nights. The people are very welcoming; many live in the ever-growing modern cities, in contrast to the Bedouin who cling to older traditions. Oman also has rich traditions laced by colourful markets, forts, castles and historic old cities. Sadly Yemen, one of the most traditional cultures, is off-limits - its amazing sights are the Arabia of our imagination. This pictorial guide aims to open a colourful window on the Arabian peninsula, a region steeped in history, much of it still waiting to be discovered.
