The policies of Sultan Sayyid Faysal bin Turki were based on the principle of balance in Oman’s relationship with Britain and France. In 1884 CE (1312 AH), he agreed to open a French consulate in Muscat, and gave the French a concession to establish a coal storage facility in Al Jassah, in Muscat, in 1898 CE (1316 AH).
