Oman Aquarium is created based on the adventures of the famous Omani sailor Ahmed Ibn Majid. Ahmed ibn Majid was a skilled Arab sailor, mapmaker, and poet born in 1421 in Julphar, which is now called Ras Al Khaimah. Growing up in a family of sailors, he became an excellent navigator at the age of 17. His courageous acts gained popularity in the region, earning him the nickname “The Shooting Star.” Ibn Majid was the first Arab sailor and wrote several books about the ocean. One of his greatest works is “The Book of the Benefits of the Principle of Seamanship.” Additionally, he authored the “Book of Lessons on the Foundation of the Sea and Navigation.” He became well-known in the Western world for reportedly assisting Vasco da Gama in finding his way from Africa to India, establishing an important route between Portugal and India. Oman Aquarium takes us on Ibn Majid’s journeys across the Indian Ocean, reaching as far as Africa and Indonesia before returning to Oman.
