<p>The Queen is being officially welcomed to Oman as she formally begins the second leg of her Gulf state visit.</p>
<p>The monarch arrived in Muscat, the capital of the Arab country, on Thursday night but will be formally greeted by its ruler Sultan Qaboos this morning.</p>
<p>The royal, who is joined by the Duke of Edinburgh, will travel though the old town of Muscat as she journeys to the Al Alam palace for the ceremony.</p>
<p>Oman has been transformed since the Sultan seized power in a bloodless coup against his father, Said Bin Taimur, in 1970.</p>
<p>Despite his lack of a democratic government, the ruler&#8217;s policies have proved popular and he has used the wealth generated by the country&#8217;s oil reserves to develop its infrastructure and other services.</p>
<p>He also modernised the government structure with the establishment of a Consultative Assembly in 1981, replaced by the Consultative Council &#8211; the majlis al-shura &#8211; in 1990 and the Council of State in 1997.</p>
<p>On Friday evening, the Queen and the Duke will attend a state banquet in their honour.</p>
<p>The Queen has spent the past few days on a state visit to the United Arab Emirates.</p>
