"Flush with wealth from its oil fields, the Sultanate of Oman has catapulted from Arabian Peninsula backwater to modern nation—while keeping alive traditions such as lailat al henna, a women-only celebration to honor the bride on the eve of her wedding. Her hands bear fanciful filigrees executed in henna, which will wear off in several weeks."

—From "Oman," May 1995, National Geographic magazine
