Through British mediation, it was agreed that Majid should pay a yearly tribute to Oman.

However, Majid paid this tribute for only a few years, and when he stopped, Thuwaini was in no position to enforce payment from the much wealthier Zanzibar.

Thuwaini was forced to levy duties on various articles, creating malcontent.

The Arabist scholar and traveller William Gifford Palgrave relates how, when they were shipwrecked in March 1863 on Sowadah Island just off Oman, they were very well received and treated by Thuwaini.
