Singapore and Oman released a joint issue stamp on 21st February 2025. I recently came across the Singapore versio of this stamp which is definitely a magnificent piece of miniature art.
When Two Worlds Meet on a Stamp
Singapore and Oman officially shook hands in 1985 and the Singapore stamp depicts Muscat Street in Kampong Glam - a vibrant slice of Singapore where Omani influences whisper through the air. Named after Oman’s capital, this street is a living tribute to centuries of trade, cultural swaps, and serious diplomatic relationship.

The face value of the Singapore stamp is 2 SGD (Singapore Dollar).
Why Muscat Street? A Nod to Shared Roots
Back in the day, Omani traders were the key players in Singapore’s bustling port, leaving behind more than just spices—they wove their culture into the city’s fabric.
The stamp’s design blends Omani motifs with Singapore’s Peranakan flair.
Fun thought: Next time you mail a letter, imagine it flying from Singapore to Oman - just like those old trade ships, but way faster. đ
Oman Post has also issued a souvenir sheet to mark the occasion. The denomination of Omani souvenir sheet is 1 Omani Rial.
