History

The Order of the Renaissance of Oman (Wisam Nahdat Oman) was instituted in 1972 or 1974 by Sultan Qaboos. The Order was originally issued in 4 Classes, however, a special class referred to as The Supreme, or the Exalted, Order of the Renaissance of Oman (Wisam Nahisat Oman al-Ali) was added in 1982. The Order is bestowed as Oman's third highest honour to both foreigners and citizens in recognition of significant contributions made to the development of the nation. It is uncertain if the Order is still currently conferred.

The Supreme Order of the Renaissance of Oman is believed to have been created prior to the Sultan's visit to the United Kingdom. The Special Class Breast Star is worn with a Collar and Ribband Badge.
