Memory register · custodian, not owner
A modest Jewish community formed in Muscat, under the Sultanate of Oman, from merchants of Iraqi and Persian origin attracted by the maritime trade of the Indian Ocean in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Its members participated in exchanges between the Gulf, the East African coast, and India, at a time when Oman constituted a regional commercial power. Always small, the community did not endure as an organized entity and ceased to exist in that form during the nineteenth century.
