The British position on the issue of Buraimi Oasis 1956-1968

Abstract

Al Buraimi Oasis is one of the most prominent oases in the Arabian Peninsula due to its important strategic location as an important commercial meeting place for the countries of the region, in addition to the abundant quantities of fresh water, palm farms, fruits, grains and large quantities of oil. The research addressed the problem of the ownership of Al Buraimi Oasis and the escalation of the international conflict over it as it represents an area of ​​attraction for British and American oil companies, which led to the emergence of this conflict. This problem affected regional politics in the Arabian Gulf region and the Arabian Peninsula throughout the period 1956-1968.
