78 • september 2019 • world fence news • On the cover: Border fencing Middle East style. Shown is a section of border fence between Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the Middle East. The sign says in Arabic, "Pho- tography Prohibited." In light of the severe political unrest and all-out-war in the Gaza Strip and in several coun- tries in the region, this is probably one of the lighter duty fences that you will see. Oman, officially the Sultanate of Oman, is an Arab state on the south- east coast of the Arabian Peninsula, where it holds a strategically import- ant position at the mouth of the Per- sion Gulf. The nation is bordered by the United Arab Emirates to the north- west, Saudi Arabia to the west, Yemen to the southwest, and shares marine borders with Iran and Pakistan.
