Al Amana Centre Al Amana Centre provides a safe space for people of faith to learn, reflect and grow together.

We foster peace and reconciliation by providing short- and long term experiences on interfaith engagement. You can experience interfaith & intercultural dialogue, deepen your understanding of Bible and Qur´an scriptures, build your personal skills, establish relationships across religious and cultural differences, and learn about the role of religion in building peace. Our work is based on the le

gacy of Reformed Church’s more than 125 years of collaboration between Christians and Muslims in the Sultanate of Oman. Our guests can experience generous hospitality and openness from Omanis. Our host country demonstrates peaceful intra-Islamic and inter religious coexistence.

"Being in Oman has taught me a lot, but the most beautiful thing that really will influence my interactions in my own country is to be supportive, patient and kind to all people regardless of their background."

It was a pleasure for us to host 10 young participants from Palestine who came to Al Amana Centre to learn more about the interfaith work of Al Amana and Omani culture. During the week we spent time learning about each other’s experiences and sharing our thoughts on shared human values. They were impressed with Oman and the work of Al Amana Centre.

"My trip to Oman was full of new adventures. Oman offers an abundance of experiences, including beautiful beaches, towering mountains, vast desert dunes, vibrant souqs, historic forts, picturesque wadis, and stunning mosques. It stands as an oasis of original Arab architecture and unique attractions.

I will never forget the awe I felt when seeing the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and the Royal Opera House in Muscat. The mosque is constructed with different types of stones, and its doors, windows, and embellishments are made of wood and glass. This beautiful mixture truly touched my heart.

I feel incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to experience everything Oman has to offer, from the friendly people to the delicious food."

"The most memorable part of my trip was visiting Sultan Qaboos University and the farm in Bahla, where I met various Omani people. They showed us the true meaning of hospitality and demonstrated how kind the Omanis are. I felt so proud to meet such amazing people.

The most beautiful thing in Oman was giving all residents the freedom of religion and belief.

It was an experience of a lifetime, and I feel incredibly lucky to have been a part of it!"

This week a group of Palestinians have spent time with us in Oman, learning about Interfaith Dialogue and Omani culture. They have spent time with Omanis, visited different cities, churches and Sultan Qaboos University, among other things.

Today a group of students from Sultan Qaboos University visited Al Amana Centre and learned about Al Amana's history, work and had the opportunity to ask the staff questions.
We're happy that we got the opportunity to engage with local students and in the future give them the opportunity to engage with our guests from all over the world.

We enjoyed having you here - thank you for your visit. Al Amana Centre is looking forward to seeing you again!

~ Moments from our programs ~

We at Al Amana Centre believe that people spending quality time with each other increases mutual understanding which is needed for Salam/shalom. A group of Christian leaders from the UK and USA were visiting Oman last month and they engaged in many different activities including visiting Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and the desert. They practiced Scriptural Reasoning with other Muslim participants and learned from each other.

Thank you for being here!

We at Al Amana Centre believe that the world needs sustainable and sustained peace among people of faith that de-escalates violence and promotes mutual understanding and respect.

In our recent group trip to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, church leaders and professors from the U.S. and U.K. engaged with Ethiopian church leaders, students, and professors, to explore what makes for peace (and what escalates lack of peace) among people of different faiths in that ancient, intensely diverse, beautiful, vibrant and rapidly-changing country. With thanks to Al Amana’s partners: Mekane Yesus Seminary & Global Mission (RCA).

From there the group traveled to Oman to continue the learning.

Through short-term and long-term experiential learning experiences, Al Amana Centre provides transformative learning that helps participants journey a path from tolerance to mutual understanding, empathy toward respect and reconciliation, that leads to Shalom/Salam.

Recently, in partnership with RCA Global Mission, Al Amana journeyed with a group of Christian pastors, church office-bearers, and theology professors to Ethiopia, there engaging with the country's rich and complex multi-religious, multi-ethnic context. Enormous thanks to Mekane Yesus Seminary for its role in hosting large parts of this experience.

Next the group traveled to Oman to learn about interfaith relations in a different context (stay tuned for more on that).

"I’m sure my time here will influence my interactions in my own life greatly as I do work with muslims and especially muslim kids in school. I think I’m going to be able to be more open and curious towards them as my own prejudices have been broken down here."

Last week young adults from Finland explored Omani culture, interfaith dialogue and made new friends. We visited churches, an Omani farm, had the chance to discuss with many Omanis and got to learn a lot about peace building and interfaith dialogue. Thanks for being with us and we're excited to see what you'll bring back to your own communities.

Also a big thanks to all our Omani friends who shared about their life and culture with these young adults. It really made an impact

“At Al Amana Centre, you can find your peaceful moments, learning, and the interfaith programs" What are you taking home? "I’m taking my reflections from the Al Amana Centre, the Oman experience, and the relationships with Muslims and Christians, and how they respect foreigners…” - Hiba The experience at Al Amana Centre and in Interfaith Photovoice not only allows participants to step into the unknown and cultivate growth, but also provides an opportunity for deeper gratitude. The result of such programs is more than stories to tell, it is the ability to foster connections and relationships with those who welcomed participants with open arms.
