2017 November 8, “ar: حملة لتقليم أشجار الغاف في العين”, in الخليج, archived from the original on 2017-11-08:
تأتي الحملة إحياءً لعادة متوارثة كان يمارسها مواطنو المدينة والدولة قديماً، وبالتحديد فئة كبار السن، وهي تقليم أشجار الغاف في فصل الشتاء باستخدام -الخصين- وهي الأداة المستخدمة لقطع الأشجار، لما تشكله شجرة الغاف من أهمية كبيرة في الموروث الثقافي والزراعي للدولة.
The campaign is a revival of an inherited custom that the citizens of city and state have practised from yore, in particular groups of elderly people; it is the clipping of the Prosopis tree in the winter period using a haṣṣīn, that is the instrument used for logging trees, because the Prosopis tree is of great importance for the cultural and agricultural heritage of the state.
