Omani Empire's Influence over Zanzibar and other East Africa Coastal Area

The East Africa Coastal Region was very important towards trading in the region. Long distant trades were conducted within that region.
The importance of the area made the Portuguese to take control of the area.
The Portuguese were pushed out by the Omani Empire who inturn established their own control.

The Omani Empire's influence and control of Zanzibar and other parts of East Africa was very rewarding to their rulers.
When Sayyid Said became the king of Omani Empire, he preferred to rule the Omani Empire and their East Africa territories from Zanzibar.
The decision was reached because he wanted to control the trade in that region.
The Zanzibar region as well had better and conducive environmental conditions when compared to Oman.
