In 750 A.D., Arab navigator Abu Obeida sailed from Sohar Port to the Chinese city of Guangzhou. The legendary journey was later adapted to the well-known adventures of Sindbad in “One Thousand and One Nights” (also known as “Arabian Nights).

In the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), Chinese navigator Zheng He reached Jeddah and Medina on his oceangoing voyages, leaving behind many stories of friendship and exchange that are still widely shared today.
