Instead, they work in shirtsleeves in laboratories, feeding data from satellite radar to computers searching for long-lost clues.

Modern archaeologists still are unable to search the entire perilous desert. Biblical archaeologists suggest wise men traded there for frankincense they bore as gifts for the infant Jesus.ДЇrankincense is an aromatic resin from the sap of Middle Eastern and East African trees - an incense used ages ago by monarchs and common folk alike, in cremations, religious rituals, ceremonies and imperial processions.Д«ack in the 1930s, the grinding sand of the Rub al Khali had defeated a water-short British explorer's search for Ad's ancient trade routes. Referred to in the Koran, the tales of The Arabian Nights and the Holy Bible, Ad probably was the bustling hub of the world's frankincense trade 5,000 years ago. A timeworn network of roads under the dunes seems to point to the burial place of the legendary society of Ad. The faint shadow of a lost civilization has turned up like a ghost in computer-enhanced radar images of ancient ground under the Rub al Khali desert in the sultanate of Oman. mountains of windswept sand to make a startling find on the fringe of the Arabian Desert. Observation satellites staring down from space have penetrated 600-ft. Green is limestone rock on the desert floor. The outpost assembled caravans transporting frankincense across the desert, from 2800 B.C. Shuttle Endeavour radar image of desert around the lost city of Ubar in the modern nation of Oman.

Therefore, our smart app is the smartest and most secure solution available in Oman.

In order to actively contribute to the development of the transport sector in the Sultanate of Oman, we have provided the most intelligent and advanced solutions to manage our mission. And, we are working in parallel with the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology in order to contribute In building this sector in line with Oman 2040 vision. In 2021, we decided to invest our long experience in information technology's fieldВ and provide a smart solutions in order to cover the needs for services in the public transportation sector, such as the shared taxi service through smart phone applications. Out of this ancient history of the lost city of Ubar, we were inspired by the name of our company specialized in building and developing smart cities in the Sultanate of Oman, in reference to the network of roads that linked caravans in the Arabian Peninsula to the city of Ubar, which was the most important station in the Empty Quarter desert for the exchange of commercial goods, perhaps the most prominent of which is frankincense Omani. A major wadi, or dry stream bed, runs across the middle of the image and is shown largely in white due to strong radar scattering in all channels displayed (L and C HH, L-HV).'

The prominent green areas (L-HV) are rough limestone rocks, which form a rocky desert floor. The prominent magenta colored area is a region of large sand dunes, which are bright reflectors at both L-and C-band. The image is constructed from three of the available SIR-C channels and displays L-band, HH (horizontal transmit and receive) data as red, C-band HH as blue, and L-band HV (horizontal transmit, vertical receive) as green. The image covers an area about 50 by 100 kilometers (31 miles by 62 miles). The SIR-C image shown is centered at 18.4 degrees north latitude and 53.6 degrees east longitude. This image was acquired on orbit 65 of space shuttle Endeavour on Apby the Space borne Imaging Radar C/X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR-C/X-SAR). and was a remote desert outpost where caravans were assembled for the transport of frankincense across the desert. Archeologists believe Ubar existed from about 2800 B.C. The ancient city was discovered in 1992 with the aid of remote sensing data.
