Sohar Castle The Sohar Fort built around the 1st century AD, is one of the major landmarks of this city. Built on a hilltop this fort has five impressive towers and is the only Omani fort that is whitewashed. Sohar Castle is one of the most prominent features in Sohar and was built between the 13th and 14th century AD by the 'Emirs of Hormuz'. Imam Nasser bin Murshid Al Ya'arubi managed to conquer and expel the Portuguese from the castle, which was used since then as the administration center for the rulers of Al-Bu Said dynasty. An escape tunnel runs from inside the Fort to the Wilayat of Buraimi, 10 Km to the west. It was used as a route to obtain reinforcements and supplies during sieges. The castle features a museum located inside it.

The 24 Contenders

The 24 teams and how they got there: Hosts: United Arab Emirates (1) As hosts of the tournament, United Arab Emirates were guaranteed a place amongst the 24 but, with the campaign also doubling up as qualification for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, they took their place from the second round. Despite facing some competition, UAE were able to seal a top-two finish in Group A, although they came up short in their quest to reach the World Cup.

Second Round Group Winners: Saudi Arabia, Australia, Qatar, Iran, Japan, Thailand, Korea Republic, Uzbekistan (8) The eight group winners were assured of a place at United Arab Emirates 2019, along with a berth in the final round of Asia’s World Cup qualifiers. After eight rounds of matches which lasted from June 2015 to March 2016, it was Saudi Arabia, Australia, Qatar, Iran, Japan, Thailand and Korea Republic who finished top of their respective groups.

Second Round – Best Runners-up: Iraq, Syria, PR (3) As a result of the qualifying mechanism, the fourth best-placed runners-up from Group A to H also advanced.

September 2018 Mahan Inflight Magazine 29 Documentary Works www.Mahan.aero Sports Tourism The fastest growing segment within the travel industry today

Many people wonder what sports tourism is. Sports tourism is traveling from one region, country, state, etc. to another in order to watch a sports competition or game. While sports tourism has not always been extremely popular, during the recent decade the amount of people attending out of area sporting events has drastically increased. People are now traveling far and wide just to attend their favorite events, and it is no wonder as to what has encouraged the sudden spike in popularity.

30 September 2018 Mahan Inflight Magazine Documentary Works www.Mahan.aero

Technology is Key While the technological advances in recent years may not have appeared to make a huge impact on the sport industry, they most certainly have. Due to the availability of buying sports tickets online through various admissions sites, people now have access to multiple resources that were not available a decade ago. People are also more aware of when and where the games and competitions will take place in advance, so they are more able to prepare for the cost and time that is needed to be able to attend the events. Sports tourism has not only managed to find a place in the technological industry, but it has increased because of it.

Tourism Consumers The types of sports tourism consumers vary from sport to sport. The most generalized statistics are that most sports tourists are males between the ages of 18 and 34, and they are in the middle-class economic groups. Delving deeper into the study will help to get a more accurate statistical rank on class, status and age. For example, cricket and rugby fans are generally older and have more disposable income than basic football and basketball fans. While different sports have different sports tourism consumers, all sports have taken a popularity increase in recent years.

Why Sports Tourism is Important Aside from the obvious and vast benefits of travel, sports tourism is great for the economy for one simple reason: it generates economic impact through direct spending into a community. Sports tourism the fastest growing segment within the travel industry today. This kind of tourism brings in tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of viewers. And guess what? Those people need to eat, and they need places to stay (probably a good souvenir, too). That means more money to hotels, restaurants, sports facilities, and gift-shops alike.

Top 8 Ways to Kill a Houseplant

No one sets out to kill a houseplant, yet most dead houseplants were killed by kindness. Gardening indoors is an artificial climate and all plants will need a period of adjustment. Expect to see a few leaves drop at first. The best thing you can do for indoor plants is to learn something about their growing conditions and provide as close to those conditions as possible. If you see a problem developing, take action quickly. Here are some surefire ways to kill your houseplants:

34 September 2018 Mahan Inflight Magazine Documentary Works www.Mahan.aero

Over Watering The #1 killer of houseplants is over watering, which leads to root rot. Don’t let your plants sit in water and don’t automatically water all your houseplants on a schedule. Top 8 Ways Low Humidity We’ve all seen what low to Kill a humidity can do to our skin. Well, lack of humidity does to many indoor plants, too, especially during the winter. When the heat Houseplant raises, the humidity in your house get lowers. You may first notice the problem as browning leaf tips.

Allow it to Become Pot Bound When a plant outgrows its pot, the roots circle around inside the pot and start to restrict themselves. Pot bound plants often seem to dry out more quickly than normal, because the ratio of roots to soil is too large.

September 2018 Mahan Inflight Magazine 35 Documentary Works www.Mahan.aero

Exposure to Direct Heat Placing your houseplant near a direct source of heat, like a radiator or duct, will not only fry your plant, but also speed up dehydration. Some locations are obviously bad, but sometimes choices are limited.

Improper Watering & Salt Buildup Giving your potted plants just enough water so the soil gets wet but is never allowed to drain, can lead to salt buildup which can inhibit the growth of your houseplants. You may not notice it until you start to see whitish crust on the soil or sides of the pot.

Ignoring Pest Problems Indoor pests multiply quickly. There are no natural predators to keep them in check, so you have to be very diligent about checking for symptoms. Spider mites, aphids, mealy bugs and scale can cover a plant in days. If severe enough, the plant may never recover.

36 September 2018 Mahan Inflight Magazine Documentary Works www.Mahan.aero

Insufficient Light Plants that are not getting as much light as they need will look pale, instead of healthy green and new growth is spindly. You may also notice that the new leaves are smaller than usual.

Exposure to aughts Placing an indoor plant, especially a tropical or blooming plant, near a frequently opened door to the outside or too close to a window with limited insulation will have the same effect as leaving the plant unprotected outside.
