Muscat : The visit of His Majesty Sultan Haitham Bin Tarik brought good news to the people of Musandam Governorate, in all economic and developmental aspects and service sectors, which will open many opportunities that will benefit all the people of the governorate. It will positively impact women in Musandam by supporting women’s economies in the governorate, which contributes to their reaching higher levels.

She was a doctor, teacher, engineer and media personality. She made her chance and seized her knowledge and work with an iron fist and did not disappoint the trust of the government and the Sultan of Oman in her."
