Muscat City Centre and Qurm City Centre, the two much-loved shopping destinations in the sultanate, owned and operated by Majid al Futtaim, will come alive with vibrant traditional entertainment, dazzling décor and exciting giveaways to celebrate the country’s 47th National Day.

The malls invite the Omani community to celebrate the spirit of togetherness and show national pride by joining the mall activities that will showcase the heartwarming Omani traditions from November 16 to 18.

Visitors at Muscat City Centre and Qurm City Centre will get a taste of Omani hospitality all weekend as they will be treated to mouthwatering Omani halwa and coffee, a traditional way of greeting guests.

At Qurm City Centre, a 16-troupe folklore ensemble will display the wealth and diversity of Omani heritage with performances every day from 410pm.

Dressed in attractive traditional dresses, dancers will use various percussion instruments and spread musical harmony from the different regions in Oman.

They will perform the Tamboura, Abou Zalaf, Al Manyour, Al Hattabat, Al Mzmar, Al Bar’aa and Al Maghayed, which will include singing, dancing and playing instruments.

“On this day of honour, we congratulate the leaders and Omani citizens on the 47th National Day. With a deep sense of pride, we invite citizens, residents and tourists in Oman to celebrate this joyous occasion with us,” said Watfa Humaid al Harthy, senior mall manager for Qurm City Centre.

Wisal FM will join in the festivities at Muscat City Centre and broadcast live from the mall from 8-9pm. The presenters will create a joyful atmosphere, interact with the public and host competitions.

Shoppers can also win prizes. Visitors can also take on the proud red, green and white colours with the national flag that will be distributed by the presenters.
