Bandar Jissah is a coastal town in northeastern Oman.

Bandar Jissah was the centre of a Cause célèbre in Anglo-Omani relations in 1898, which was later called Oman's Fashoda Incident

The Sultan of the day, the Gujerati speaking Faisal bin Turki, Sultan of Muscat and Oman, wearying of the tiresome British complaints about his trade in slaves, turned to the French, who were more relaxed about such things. He agreed to let them establish a coaling-station at Bandar Jissah. This was too much for the British, one object of whose presence in Muscat had for a long been to frustrate French designs in the region. The Sultan was forced to rescind his agreement with the French on pain of having his Muscat palace blown to smithereens.[1]
