    Muscat: The Kuwaiti Al-Arabi magazine, the most famous cultural magazine in the Arab world highlights the cover page of an Omani girl, holding a generous Quran, reading in it in June 1971 issue. Fifty years later, the Kuwaiti magazine searched for this girl, until it found her to interview.

    The meeting with Mahfza bint Ahmed Al-Rawahi will be full of memories, and will narrate the great transformations that the Sultanate of Oman has witnessed and is witnessing. Al-Arabi magazine titled in its June 1971 issue, “The Empty Quarter is no longer empty and 4 Omani cities began to wake up after a deep sleep.

    In this issue, the magazine spoke about the conditions of the Omani citizen fifty years ago, in terms of the small number of hospitals, schools and farms, saying: Good people go and become, but the hands of time are in place that do not move, as if they had stopped four generations ago.

    The magazine also talked about the high prices that the Sultanate was witnessing at that time, as the fruit of an orange was twenty fils, 90 fils for a kilo of onions, and five fils for a small lemon, while people could not buy.
