She tallked about three subject which are Omani Kitchen, Palm tree and Car accident in Oman .

In Omani Kitchen

The Omani people are well known for their hospitality and offers of refreshment. To be invited into someone's home will mean coffee (kahwa), a strong, bitter drink flavoured with cardamom, and dates or halwa, a sticky sweet gelatinous substance which is made from brown sugar, eggs, honey and spices. It can be flavoured with many different ingredients, such as nuts, rosewater or even chocolate. Lokhemat is another accompaniment to coffee, which are balls of flour and yeast flavoured with cardamom and deep fried until golden then served with a sweet lime and cardamom syrup. The sweetness of this dish often counteracts the bitterness of the kahwa.

The second subject is Palm Tree

Most landscape palms will require fertilization once or twice during the growing season

If you are concerned that your tree may be showing signs of a specific deficiency, we recommend you start using the Maintenance Spikes first to see if that clears up the problem. This way, you avoid misdiagnosing the problem while still providing a balanced feeding for your tree. If a deficiency still exists after treatment with the Complete Spikes, try one of the mineral-specific spikes described below. For information about how to purchase TreeHelp

Beaches in Oman

With a coastline of 1700km, Oman offers some of the cleanest, most stunning beaches a visitor could hope to see. Few beaches are private, except some attached to the beach resort hotels, or those adjoining military or official property. Weekend picnics and barbeques are popular on the beach. Many coves are perfect for snorkelling and with fairly gentle shelves, are good for children. Some of the beaches in the Muscat capital area include:
Aviation Beach, or Shell Beach,
Which is located near the Civil Aviation Club in Al Azaiba. A four-wheel drive vehicle is necessary to get down to the water's edge. It is abundant in starfish, crabs and exotic shells.

Qurum Beach
Qurum Beach, below the Crowne Plaza Hotel, is well set up for visitors and has a number of picnic areas and palm shades. When the tide is low, one can take a 4km walk towards the Embassies' area in Shati Al Qurum. Approximately half way along this stretch of beach is the Muscat InterContinental hotel. Around this area are many jetski rentals.

Wild Animals in Oman

For the Omanis, protecting wildlife and maintaining their natural habitat is nothing new, for wildlife reserves were once to be found in some areas of Oman. Reserves allowed wild species to find grazing even in the most severe drought conditions and, at the same time provided a sanctuary from hunters. Today Oman has seven formally designated protected areas for conservation of wild fauna and flora.The Arabian oryx is perhaps the best known of Oman's wild animals. Other important species include:

Arabian leopard. Gone from most of the region the Arabian leopard still survives in the remote mountains of southern Oman. Modern techniques of camera-trapping and satellite collars have meant that the ecology of this shy and very secretive animal has been studied for the first time. The leopard is usually solitary only coming together with another animals for breeding. It is catholic in its diet but studies have shown that the Nubian ibex and rock hyrax form the bulk of its diet. Jebel Samhan Nature Reserve provides important sanctuary for the leopard, Arabia's largest of cats.
