The initiative of Islamic Culture capitals gained approval during the 3rd Islamic Conference of Ministers of Culture in 2001. Annually, the Islamic Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) designates three cities from member states within the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to serve as capitals of Islamic Culture, representing the Arab, Asian, and African Regions.
In 2015, Nizwa was chosen by ISESCO to represent the Arab Region as a Capital of Islamic Culture, while Almaty, the former capital of Kazakhstan, represented the Asian Region, and Cotonou in Benin represented the African Region.
Nizwa, situated approximately 164 km from Muscat, the capital, holds historical significance as it once served as the capital city and continues to be a significant scientific and cultural hub in Oman.
