MUSCAT : The event, held under the patronage of His Excellency Dr. Mohammed bin Nasser Al Zaabi, Secretary-General of the Ministry of Defense, marks a significant step in showcasing Oman’s rich heritage, stunning landscapes, and modern infrastructure to a global audience.
The project offers users a unique opportunity to virtually explore Oman’s natural beauty and historical landmarks and aims to attract worldwide interest in the Sultanate’s tourism and business sectors.
