بطل "خليجي 19"

احتفل آلاف العمانيين بفوز منتخبهم بلقب بطل "خليجي 19" في مسقط فور انتهاء المباراة النهائية والفوز على نظيره السعودي مباشرة بركلات الترجيح 6-5، بعد انتهاء الوقت الأصلي والإضافي بدون أهداف، وخرجوا إلى شوارع العاصمة العمانية وجميع المحافظات الأخرى يطلقون العنان لأبواق سياراتهم رافعين الأعلام العمانية وصور لاعبي المنتخب.
ويعتبر الفوز بخليجي 19 أهم إنجاز للكرة العمانية حتى الآن، بعد أن سقط المنتخب في المباراة النهائية في النسختين السابقتين في الدوحة والإمارات أمام أصحاب الأرض، فخسر نهائي خليجي 17 بضربات الجزاء أمام قطر ولقي الخسارة في نهائي خليجي 18 أمام الإمارات بهدف مطر.
وتحولت الساحات المحيطة باستاد مجمع السلطان قابوس الرياضي إلى كرنفالات احتفالية كبيرة، بعد أن التقت الجماهير الخارجة من الملعب بالمئات الذين تابعوا المباراة من الخارج لعدم تمكنهم من الدخول.
إنجاز تاريخي
وجاءت مظاهر الفرح الكبيرة نظرا لأن الأحمر العماني استحق اللقب عن جدارة، ويكفي أنه الفريق الوحيد الذي لم يدخل مرماه هدف على مدار خمس مباريات في البطولة، وهو الأمر الذي ربما يكون سابقة لم تحدث من قبل في بطولات الخليج.
ويعود الفضل في هذه السابقة للحارس العملاق المتألق علي الحبسي، الذي نجح في الذود عن مرماه ببسالة، خاصة في آخر مباراتين في البطولة أمام قطر في الدور قبل النهائي، وأمام الأخضر السعودي في النهائي.
وبالفعل استحق الحبسي الحصول على لقب أفضل حارس في البطولة، خاصة أنه يعد أحد الأسباب الرئيسية التي ساهمت بقوة في تتويج المنتخب العماني باللقب الأول في تاريخه.
وإذا كان الحبسي لعب دورا كبيرا، فإن المهاجم الخطير الذي تألق خلال البطولة حسن ربيع، يعد أيضا أحد اللاعبين الذين توهجوا وتألقوا خلال البطولة الحالية، ويكفي أنه نجح في إحراز 4 أهداف من الأهداف الستة التي سجلها منتخب عمان في البطولة.
والغريب أن المنتخب العماني ظهر بالفعل كأقوى الدول الخليجية رغم خروجه المبكر من التصفيات المؤهلة لبطولة كأس العالم 2010، لكن بعد الفوز ببطولة خليجي 19، باتت الآمال معقودة على الوصول لكأس أسيا التي تبدأ منافساتها قريبا.

Salalah

Salalah (صلالة in Arabic), is the capital and seat of the governor or Wali of the southern Omani province of Dhofar. The population of Salalah is 178,469 as of 2005[1]. Salalah is located at 17°2′6″N 54°9′5″E / 17.035°N 54.15139°E / 17.035; 54.15139
Salalah is the second largest town in the Sultanate of Oman and a traditional stronghold and birthplace of the Sultan, Qaboos bin Said. The Sultan traditionally lives in Salalah rather than in Muscat, the capital and largest city in Oman; Qaboos has bucked this trend, however, and he has lived in Muscat since he ascended to the throne in 1970. He does however visit Salalah fairly regularly to meet with influential tribal and local leaders; his last visit was in 2006 and before that he visited in 2002

Salalah, despite lying close to the Arabian desert, enjoys a tropical climate through most of the year. Temperatures are very hot in the summer soaring up to 40 degrees but in winter can fall down to 22 degrees. The town is subjected to the south-west monsoons. This period (late June to early September) is known as the khareef season. Visitors from across the Persian Gulf flock to Salalah to enjoy the monsoon and avoid the harsh heat faced by the rest of the region during the same period. Also in this period, the town's population nearly doubles and various fairs are organized, such as the Khareef Festival at Ittin

The city of Salalah is known as the “perfume capital of Arabia”.[citation needed] The city is a popular destination for tourism due to the natural attractions of the nearby mountains and abundant stands of frankincense trees lining mountain wadi courses. Around the city and into the mountains the countryside is lush and green during the monsoon period with the vegetation supporting herds of cattle. The climate supports wildlife often more commonly associated with East Africa, such as leopards and hyenas.
The beaches and coastline are also major attractions for scuba diving and bird watching.
Salalah is a city of antiquity, boasting both the ruins of a fortified town Sumharam an important port from 100BC–400AD and the resting place of the Koranic prophet Ayoub Job in the nearby Jabal Gadu. It is also the alleged resting place of Nabi Imran, father of the Virgin Mary. Modern Oman is also represented by the Port of Salalah, located approximately 15 km to the southwest of the city. The strategic location of this port has made it one of the major entry points to India, the Middle East, and Africa

A candle is a light source, usually made of paraffin wax, with a wick running through the middle. Soy, beeswax, gel, and other vegetable-based waxes can be used as a fuel source for a candle. Up until the 1850s, a candle was made of tallow, made from beef-fat rendering. The earliest candles were made from beeswax in Egypt around 3000 BC. Paraffin wax was designed for candles around 1830 which was a good option for the candle since it was inexpensive and produced a clean and odorless flame. Candles have not been used as a primary light source since kerosene was first distilled in the 1850s. Today, candles are commonly used for decoration, celebrations, and religious services. A candle sets a very romantic, warm tone and can also be used for aromatherapy. A common use of the candle is for birthday cakes. Cultural and religious services that use the candle include Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, Kwanzaa, Humanism, and Wicca. A candle is used to celebrate Advent in Christianity, and candles are a key part of celebrating Hanukkahs for Judaism.
