It is one of the most prominent and famous Omani handicrafts and crafts that enrich the maritime heritage and include the manufacture of many collectibles and tools that are used in homes.

Saleh Rashid Al Bahri, supervisor of the Omani Palm Fronds pavilion, expressed his happiness at the turnout of people enjoying the exhibits at the pavilion, pointing out that the gauntlets, mats, dishes, baskets and fans come at the forefront of these manufactures that attract visitors to Katara. 

Most visitors are eager to buy palm fronds with the aim of using them for adornment and decoration purposes within home furnishings and heritage accessories inside homes, salons and councils, because of their multiple shapes and bright colours and because they are environmentally friendly. 

They are also acquired to present them as souvenirs on social occasions, noting the many modern additions to this handicraft and its development with innovative artistic touches to preserve the authentic marine heritage.
