Call for official stray animal shelters in Oman
MUSCAT: Nada al Balushi, a prominent Omani animal welfare advocate and veterinary sector leader, has called on stakeholders to establish official shelters for stray animals and fully implement Oman's existing animal welfare regulations. Nada was recently honoured as Animal Advocate of the Year at the Fluxx Events Awards 2025 in Hong Kong, recognising her outstanding contributions to animal welfare and community outreach. 'We don't have an official animal shelter in the Sultanate of Oman yet — what we have is the Omani Animal Welfare Association, which is a starting point for bigger strides in future,' Nada said upon her return from Hong Kong. 'We have an Animal Welfare Law in place, but it's crucial for the community to come forward, understand it and actively work together to improve the situation.' Though precise figures are lacking, Oman has a growing population of stray dogs and cats. Animal welfare organisations cite limited awareness and resources as major challenges in addressing the issue. 'In addition to that, we have the Rifq Clinic by Muscat Municipality, which focuses on the care and rehabilitation of stray and abandoned animals. While these are positive steps, we urgently need proper shelters and stronger regulations to ensure lasting change,' added Nada, who holds a PgCert VBM, LVT and CVBL. Nada views the Fluxx Award as a powerful motivator to continue her mission of educating communities, empowering veterinary professionals and fostering compassion for animals. Her citation highlights her active community outreach, promoting responsible pet ownership and mental health awareness among veterinary professionals through workshops, seminars and partnerships with rescue groups. She also serves on the advisory board of Sultan Qaboos University's veterinary technology programme. 'This award celebrates every school workshop, every awareness campaign and every conversation that brings us closer to responsible pet ownership and stronger support for veterinary professionals,' she said. Nada also stressed the need for stricter regulation of privately run zoos in Oman, underscoring concerns about animal treatment, feeding practices and living conditions.

Mango Festival in Al Awabi highlights heritage
AL AWABI: The first edition of the Al Awabi Mangos Festival concluded in Al Alia village in the Wilayat of Al Awabi, Al Batinah South Governorate, on Saturday. The festival was organised by the Office of the Governor of Al Batinah South Governorate, in collaboration with several local institutions and farmers. The festival aimed to highlight the Omani mango tree and promote it as an agricultural heritage that represents an integral part of the village and region's identity. It also highlighted the agricultural importance and status of the mango tree in the community. Al Alia village is well-known for its abundant produce of high-quality mango varieties. Mango is a prolific fruit-bearing tree distinguished by its sweet, juicy flesh and rich flavour which placed it among the most-consumed highly-demanded fruits. The festival included a variety of cultural, agricultural and entertainment activities which appealed to various segments of society. Most notable among these were the market corner, which showcased local agricultural products and traditional handicrafts; the rural entrepreneurship corner, which showcased youth initiatives and projects; the small farmer corner, which taught children the principles and importance of agriculture and the interactive theatre corner, which hosted cultural, artistic and entertainment segments. The festival also included an awareness lecture on mango cultivation and care methods, an experience of picking the fruit directly from the trees, tours to explore the landmarks of Al Alia village and entertainment competitions. Mango Festival in Al Awabi highlights heritage Oman's commitment to mango cultivation is further reflected in a comprehensive scientific encyclopedia on the mango tree, considered the first of its kind globally. Commissioned in 2005 under the royal directives of the late His Majesty Sultan Qaboos, the encyclopedia took nearly a decade to complete and was launched in 2016 in Arabic, English, French and Spanish, with an electronic version also available for global access. This encyclopedia documents mango cultivation in 65 countries and serves as a vital scientific reference for protecting Omani mango varieties, combating agricultural pests and mitigating the effects of salinity on production. Historically, mango cultivation dates back around 6,000 years in South Asia and was introduced to Oman through ancient trade routes during the 10th century AD. Today, mango ranks as the fourth most important fruit crop in the Sultanate of Oman, after date palms, citrus fruits and bananas, with popular local varieties including Al Halkoom and Banana Stick. By celebrating this beloved fruit, the festival strengthens community ties to agricultural heritage and highlights the importance of conserving rare local varieties for future generations.

How a muddy hobby led to becoming an unofficial ambassador for Omani crafts
In Bahla, where the wind still carries whispers of a bygone era and the famed fort stands like a storybook carved in stone, a different kind of history is being shaped—not in dusty archives, but on a potter's wheel. It's not loud or flashy. In fact, it begins quietly with a ten-year-old girl, her palms muddy and her eyes alight with curiosity. This is where we meet Marya Al-Adawi, who took her first spin at pottery not in an art school or classroom, but in her family's workshop—the Al-Adawi Pottery Factory. That was years ago. Today, Marya is not just playing with clay—she's playing a part in reviving an age-old Omani tradition. 'I remember my first piece,' Marya laughs. 'It was lopsided, uneven—but I was so proud. It felt like I'd made magic with my own hands.' How a muddy hobby led to becoming an unofficial ambassador for Omani crafts Back then, it was simply fun. But what Marya didn't know was that this muddy little hobby was actually shaping more than just pots—it was shaping her mind. Psychologists have long confirmed what Marya and her generation are just starting to realise: hobbies, especially creative ones, are vital for childhood development. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, hands-on creative play boosts fine motor skills, enhances problem-solving abilities, and supports emotional regulation. Dr. Amanda Gummer, founder of The Good Play Guide, notes that structured hobbies help children build resilience, patience, and a sense of achievement. In simpler words? Give a child some clay, and you might just give them confidence, too. That's what pottery did for Marya. Surrounded by the quiet strength of her grandfather and the steady hands of her parents—both seasoned potters—Marya absorbed not just technique, but tradition. It wasn't long before the clay that once felt foreign began to move fluidly under her touch. How a muddy hobby led to becoming an unofficial ambassador for Omani crafts By 2021, she formally trained to hone her skills. In 2024, she crafted her first true piece using madar and sarbookh—two types of raw Omani clay that carry centuries of legacy in their grit. While she hasn't started selling her pieces yet, her goal is to blend classic Omani craftsmanship with sleek modern design. 'Pottery isn't just a job for me,' Marya says. 'It's peace. When I work on the wheel, I feel grounded. It's taught me to slow down, to be patient—and honestly, it's helped me understand myself better.' That's the beauty of hobbies—they create space for children and teens to channel energy, process emotions, and build identity. In a world hooked on screens and fast-paced everything, crafts like pottery offer a tactile, slow-burn reward that's increasingly rare. Marya isn't keeping this to herself. She's become something of a young ambassador for Omani crafts, leading pottery workshops and welcoming visitors from around the world to Bahla Fort—transforming the ancient into the accessible. How a muddy hobby led to becoming an unofficial ambassador for Omani crafts Her influence doesn't stop at the wheel. She's part of a bigger global movement where young creatives are breathing new life into traditional crafts. Think Japan's kintsugi—the poetic art of mending broken pottery with gold—and how it's enjoying a revival thanks to social media and artisan-led workshops. Closer to home, Oman is investing in its cultural future. The Craft Training Centre in Salalah, founded in 1985, has been quietly preserving traditions like leatherwork and dagger-making. Meanwhile, the 'Young Crafters' programme now trains students in everything from ceramics to graphic design, in partnership with the Ministry of Education and the Scientific College of Design. In Muscat, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning has established the Specialized Traditional Crafts Centre to ensure that heritage doesn't just survive, but thrives. How a muddy hobby led to becoming an unofficial ambassador for Omani crafts For Marya, all of this fuels her dream: to open her own pottery centre for kids, where they can get their hands dirty and their imaginations fired up—just like she did. 'In every cup I make,' she says, 'I see a story. My story. My country's story. And maybe, the beginning of someone else's.' In the age of digital everything, what Marya is doing feels almost revolutionary—slowing down, shaping the old into the new, and proving that with the right kind of hands (even small ones), tradition doesn't fade. It evolves. And in Bahla, where the past and present twirl together on a spinning wheel, the future is already taking shape.
