This collection contains images of various sites in Oman which have been scanned from negatives housed in three binders in the Mohamed Makiya Archive (Negative Binders 21-23). The images mostly document locations in and around Muscat, including Mutrah and Sidab. Locations further afield that appear in these binders include Sohar, Nizwa, and Salalah. The images include close views of buildings and architectural details, as well as streetscapes, seascapes, and landscapes. Both historic and contemporary buildings of variable condition are featured. The images were most likely created in the 1970s when Makiya Associates was engaged in various projects in Oman, including a survey of Muscat and proposals for architectural preservation and development.

The Aga Khan Documentation Center thanks Shaima Al Senaidi for providing identifications for several locations documented in these binders, and Bridget Peak for providing further location identifications and item-level metadata for the photographs in this collection and associated site records.
