Oman Points of Interest from OpenStreetMap, Including Amenities and Tourism Sites

Points of interest from OpenStreetMap for Oman, exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. The data includes public-facing amenities, shops, tourist attractions, and landmarks tagged via `amenity`, `shop`, `tourism`, or `man_made` keys. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Urban analysis based on the distribution of amenities and shops.
• Tourism mapping based on attractions and landmarks tagged via `tourism`.
• Basemap detail enhancement based on general points of interest.
• Infrastructure planning based on `man_made` features.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers.
• Explicitly includes features tagged via four major OSM key categories: `amenity`, `shop`, `tourism`, and `man_made`.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, remote areas may be incomplete.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
