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.

How will your time here influence your interactions in your own local community?

"My understanding of the country's diversity and the ability to use it positively for the good of the people of Oman has influenced my attitude and will be using it in Nigeria."
- Dr Yusuf Yakubu Arrigasiyyu

“Being able to interact properly in a more positive mental and self aware manner.“
- Shekoni Alle saheed

At Al Amana Centre we believe that an increased religious understanding and literacy is possible through experiential learning and proximity with those with diverse religious experiences. This week our Centre hosted a group of Muslims and Christians from Nigeria, to learn more about dialogue, mutual understanding and the diversity of the Sultanate of Oman, through different immersive interfaith experiences.

"Oman offers valuable lessons in how a country can manage diversity, foster peace, and maintain stability despite challenges that might otherwise lead to division.

The key lesson from Oman’s experience is that peacebuilding is not just about addressing the symptoms of conflict but also about creating a culture of unity, tolerance, and cooperation across all aspects of society."

- Rev. Abainitus Akila Hamman Jr.

This week our Centre hosted a group of Muslims and Christians from Nigeria, to learn more about peace building, dialogue and mutual understanding. During the week the group has participated in different lectures and workshops, visited churches, mosques, Hindu temple, a college and discovered Oman in many other ways.

At Al Amana Centre we believe that people of faith can become sources of healing and sustained peace in polarized societies.

The participants were very thankful to have the opportunity to get together in the Gulf in the name of coexistence, tolerance, and Christian service to both the churches and the common good. There are millions of Christians residing in this region and many churches.

The GCF gathers primarily executive church leaders from the of the Gulf Cooperation Council and Yemen.

"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."
- Participant

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.

~ Moments from our programs ~

"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."

~ Moments from our programs ~

"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!"
- Dima

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.
Glad to have you here.

“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.
