MUSCAT: Majid Al Futtaim, the Middle East, Africa and Asia’s leading shopping mall, communities, retail and leisure pioneer, announced its participation in the 20th edition of the Muscat Festival, a 24-day celebration of Omani heritage from January 18 until February 11.
City Centre Muscat and City Centre Qurum, the two muchloved shopping destinations in the Sultanate, owned and operated by Majid Al Futtaim, will offer an unparalleled shopping experience with several exciting promotions, an exclusive family-themed entertainment and a chance to win instant prizes, including the opportunity to drive away in a brand-new car.
Shoppers can expect to see a host of entertainers roaming around the malls.

Meet Alice and her peculiar friends including the Mad Hatter, White Rabbit and the Queen of Hearts from January 20 to 23, four times daily at 6pm, 7pm, 8pm, and 9pm.
Underscoring its reputation as a key family entertainment hub, City Centre Muscat featured the eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka together with The Oomper Loomers and the Candy girls. The troupe roamed the mall from Jan- uary 24 – 27.
