Bedouin Camp Near Dhaid - 20 naye paise

This plum-tinted 10-naye-paise airmail stamp ("بريد جوي") was issued by Sharjah & Dependencies (الشارقة وملكحقاتها) in the mid-1960s and expertly printed via photogravure by Harrison and Sons Ltd. London, showcasing a panoramic topographical view of Khor Fakkan (خورفكان), a vital East Coast dependency nestled along the Gulf of Oman. The landscape vignette captures the scenic, crescent-shaped natural deepwater harbor flanked by the rugged terrain of the Hajar Mountains, framing the coastal village and traditional marine vessels against a soft sky. The horizontal layout is balanced on the right by a deep violet panel containing an oval portrait of the ruler, Sheikh Saqr bin Sultan Al Qasimi (who governed from 1951 to 1965), visually linking the strategic maritime gateway and regional coastal infrastructure directly to the sovereign authority of the emirate's independent postal administration.
