Al Haffa: A monsoon haven for frankincense lovers
SALALAH, JULY 28 Step into Al Haffa Market during Salalah's monsoon season and you're instantly transported — where the scent of frankincense lingers in the air, the charm of age-old trade fills the alleys, and the past blends beautifully with the present. 'It's like stepping into a storybook,' said Salim al Balushi, visiting from Muscat with his wife and two children. 'The smell of frankincense, the sound of traders calling out, the colours, the history — you feel like you're part of something real and timeless, yet it's so warm and welcoming.' His wife added, 'We were surprised to see the new seafront area — it's beautifully done. After shopping, we sat at a cafe overlooking the sea and watched the sunset. It was the perfect end to the day.' Their children, meanwhile, enjoyed exploring the market's winding paths and picking up handmade souvenirs. 'It's not just about shopping,' Salim added. 'It's about connecting with our culture. I hope my children remember this experience for a long time.' Nestled along Dhofar's coast, Al Haffa Market is more than a marketplace — it's a living expression of Omani heritage. Especially during the khareef, it draws locals and tourists seeking not only goods but a glimpse into the stories, scents and traditions. Shops brim with Omani frankincense — locally known as 'white gold' —handmade perfumes, embroidered fabrics, silver jewellery and incense crafted through centuries of tradition. For many visitors, Al Haffa is both the first and final stop in Salalah, with memories carried home in the form of fragrant treasures. A gentle transformation is underway at Al Haffa. A new seafront promenade is emerging, with cafes, restaurants and a coastal walkway enhancing the visitor experience — without sacrificing the soul of the place. Thoughtful development ensures that while the facilities grow, the spirit remains intact. During monsoon months, the market is alive from 8 am to 10 pm, especially in the evenings when families and travellers mingle under the soft glow of lights and gentle drizzle. Frankincense from Boswellia trees — found only in Dhofar and a few other regions — has shaped civilisations. Once carried in caravans to Egypt, Mesopotamia and Rome, this resin continues to be harvested the traditional way and remains a symbol of Oman's enduring legacy. Unesco-listed sites like Wadi Dawkah, Al Baleed and Shisr (Ubar) are silent yet powerful witnesses to Dhofar's historic role in global trade. Today, they attract visitors who seek to connect history, scent and story. As Oman advances towards Vision 2040, Al Haffa Market stands as a beacon of cultural continuity and meaningful tourism — where every visitor can feel the heartbeat of a land rich in memory and meaning.

UTAS students return from academic tour in Beijing
MUSCAT, JULY 28 The first student delegation from the University of Technology and Applied Sciences (UTAS) has returned to Oman after a successful academic journey to Beijing. This pioneering trip was part of the prestigious Royal Grant Programme for Student Trips, launched under the directives of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik. The initiative aims to foster innovation and global exposure among Omani students through hands-on, international learning experiences. This year's itinerary spans three key destinations — Beijing and Shanghai in China, and Russia. The Beijing leg served as the inaugural chapter of the journey, offering a dynamic blend of scientific, technological and cultural immersion designed to broaden students' horizons and introduce them to global innovation landscapes. A key highlight of the visit was a field trip to the headquarters of Huawei, a global leader in information and communication technology. Students explored state-of-the-art developments in artificial intelligence, 5G networks, cloud computing, smart cities and e-learning platforms. Real-world tech projects from various global markets provided students with practical insights into the transformative power of modern technology. The delegation also experienced China's renowned high-speed rail by travelling to Tianjin aboard the iconic bullet train — cutting a two-hour journey to just 30 minutes through stunning scenery. Student Taqwa al Rawahi described it as 'an unforgettable experience', highlighting the fusion of nature and urban beauty. Raghad al Ajeeli added: 'Tianjin blends modernity and heritage - from Italian Culture Street to the illuminated Joliang Bridge. Its use of smart technologies makes it a model for sustainability.' In Tianjin, the group toured the Airbus A320 assembly plant and the BYD-D Space Center, delving into the realms of aircraft manufacturing and electric mobility. 'Visiting both factories deepened my appreciation for China's technological prowess,' said Firas al Zadjali. Cultural exposure was equally central to the program. At Beijing's historic Summer Palace, students were captivated by ancient Chinese architecture and serene landscapes. 'Walking through the Summer Palace felt like entering another era,' said Reem al Nabhani. The delegation also visited the Olympic Park — home to the 2008 Summer Olympics — where they explored iconic landmarks such as the Bird's Nest Stadium and Water Cube. Dr Janan al Eisa, Media and Documentation Officer, noted: 'Seeing these venues in person brought the Olympic legacy to life — it was truly inspiring.' Another key stop was a visit to a leading AI and voice recognition tech firm, where students interacted with experts on cutting-edge applications in speech and artificial intelligence. 'This visit gave me fresh ideas for applying AI in engineering,' said student Al Muntasir al Kalbani. Mohammed al Mayahi, Sports Activity Specialist and delegation supervisor, emphasised the long-term impact of the programme: 'These experiences help students align with Oman Vision 2040 by building innovation-driven skills. We hope they return as role models for their peers.' To balance academics with leisure, students also explored Universal Studios Beijing and local markets, gaining a holistic taste of Chinese culture. Following the success of the Beijing leg, UTAS is preparing to send student delegations to Shanghai and Russia, continuing its commitment to global engagement and transformative learning under the Royal Grant Programme.
