The Ottoman Empire never ruled in east Arabia (apart from Muscat) or in the central areas, did they?

There was the Lahsa eyalet along the Persian gulf for ~100 years, and for the interior I guess the few years immediately after the Wahabbi war would count?

Interesting, but missing the Islamic empire that conquered all that Byzantine territory in the 600s. It stretched from Pakistan to Spain.

The Sasanian Empire would be more contemporary.
