Oman’s Sultan Haitham landed in Bahrain on Monday for an official two-day visit, the country’s news agency said in a statement.
Bahrain’s King Hamad greeted Sultan Haitham at the Sakhir Air Base Airport in Manama.
"The two monarchs headed to the hall of honour, passing between two rows of honour guards from the Bahraini Royal Guard, where His Majesty Sultan Haitham shook hands with senior Bahraini officials and members of the Oman embassy in Bahrain, while the Bahraini monarch shook hands with the official delegation accompanying Sultan Qaboos," said the statement.
Twenty-one artillery rounds were fired to salute Sultan Haitham's arrival.
Sultan Haitham was expected to discuss ways of enhancing co-operation between the two countries that serves their interests and aspirations, and achieves a future of prosperity, said the news agency.
Sultan Haitham first visited Bahrain in 2020 after he assumed the post following the death of Sultan Qaboos.

While Huawei did launch the first smartphone with a 50MP image sensor in its P40 series in 2020, Oppo in 2014 introduced the Find 7, which was capable of taking 50MP images: this was done using a combination of a 13MP sensor and software that resulted in shots seemingly taken from a 50MP camera.

Key findings
- Over a period of seven years, a team of scientists analysed dietary data from 50,000 North American adults.
- Eating one or two meals a day was associated with a relative decrease in BMI, compared with three meals. Snacks count as a meal. Likewise, participants who ate more than three meals a day experienced an increase in BMI: the more meals a day, the greater the increase.
- People who ate breakfast experienced a relative decrease in their BMI compared with “breakfast-skippers”.
- Those who turned the eating day on its head to make breakfast the biggest meal of the day, did even better.
- But scrapping dinner altogether gave the best results. The study found that the BMI of subjects who had a long overnight fast (of 18 hours or more) decreased when compared even with those who had a medium overnight fast, of between 12 and 17 hours.
