Muscat, Nov 18  - The expatriate communities joined their Omani brethren in celebrating the 47th National Day across the country by joining in the festivities and special prayers for the health and wellbeing of His Majesty.


Ahead of the National Day, vehicles were decorated in national colours and shops were decked up for the occasion.


In several parts of the country, expats joined the processions organised by citizens shouting slogans, ‘Long Live His Majesty and ‘May Oman Prosper further’. Various expatriate associations were a part of the national rallies reaffirming their loyalty to the nation and the people.


Expatriates took part in the celebrations organised by the Ministry of Tourism under the auspices of Ahmed bin Nasser al Mehrzi, Minister of Tourism, who honoured volunteers of the tourism awareness campaigns and projects on Thursday.


Oman Avenues Mall created a world record by creating a 3D national flag built from lego bricks on Saturday.


Malayalam Wing, a regional association under the Indian Social Club supervised by the Ministry of Social Development, commemorated the National Day with patriotic fervour at the ISC multipurpose hall.


“Centuries of admirable tradition and culture, decades of excellent leadership and world’s future for peace and nobility. The chronicles of Oman are innumerable,” Jafar Khan of Suhol Al Fayha told the Observer.


Several other nationalities who made Oman their home away from their home took part in the celebrations pledging their support and solidarity to His Majesty and the people of Oman.


“Let’s all pray for his Majesty’s health and well-being of the Sultanate, let’s be thankful for the love and affection these most modest human beings have given us and our families. Wish you a very happy National Day Oman,” they said.
