formed such an important part of Omani culture and trade over the years, although these days there is less demand.

Built over 70 years ago, the wooden fishing vessel of Fateh Al Khair has strong historical significance to it. It was brought back to Yemen, restored, and grounded on dry land.

This particular species of takin is found only in Bhutan and western Arunachal Pradesh. Located only 10 minutes from Thimphu city is the Royal Takin Preserve. Originally a zoo, until the fourth king decided to disband it since keeping animals in cages did not align with the country’s environmental and religious beliefs, the animals were released into the wild. However, the takin were too tame to survive, and wandered around the streets of Thimphu. This led to the making of the Royal Takin Preserve.
