Fun, entertainment at Naseem Garden
A family outing these days wouldn’t be complete without visiting Naseem Garden, considered one of the most important venues of the ongoing Muscat Nights.
A Muscat Municipality official told Muscat Daily that events in the garden are designed in a way that every visitor has something of interest to him or her.
“The consumer exhibition in Naseem Garden is one of the most important attractions for visitors, both Omani families and residents. It presents more than 50 stores of Omani productive families and 80 small and medium enterprises selling all kinds of clothes, accessories and silverware,” the official said.
He informed that the exhibition includes Yemeni, Syrian and Turkish products, such as Arabic spices, natural honey and handicrafts that these countries are famous for.
For others, especially children, the garden offers a variety of shows and activities. “I came with my children to take pictures in the main open theatre where acrobatic performances are held,” Ahmed al Hashemi, a visitor at the garden, told Muscat Daily.
He added, “I liked the cartoon show called ‘Greetings from Madagascar’. The characters are really funny. My children also enjoyed entering the Madagascar
Forest - for free - and taking the most beautiful pictures.”
Khalid al Balushi, another citizen who was visiting from Amerat, said, “My children loved the ice cream corner. We also saw a fire show, but the cartoon characters roaming around the garden were one of the key
attractions for my children. They took photos with the characters to remember their time at the event.” However, Balushi felt that the festival is ending too soon. “I hope the authorities extend the festival period to a month next time. Children love the atmosphere of fun and entertainment.”
Nasser al Hosni, who came to enjoy the live shows, said, “Naseem Garden has all the activities that all members of a family can enjoy - shopping, fun and entertainment activities, and children’s electronic games. My children enjoyed the children's films and Indian films screened in the open-air cinema in the garden.”
