MUSCAT : The annual National Day Doodle showcases the colours of Omani flag bursting on the screen like a fireworks display.

This digital tribute highlights the significance of Oman’s National Day and pays homage to the country’s rich culture and heritage. The Doodle has also dedicated a spot to highlight the significance of the day for Oman, classifying it as a new renaissance, with celebrations featuring fireworks, concerts and parades.

The Doodle caption reads as follows: “Today’s Doodle celebrates Oman’s National Day! On National Day, celebrations start with students singing the national anthem… Many lively events such as parades, cultural performances, camel races, horse shows, and other festivities are hosted for all to enjoy. City streets and buildings are decorated with vibrant lights of green, red, and white, as well as the Omani national flag — like the one in today’s artwork.

“Families and friends gather to share meals with traditional dishes such as machboos (one-pot rice and meat dish), harees dijaj (slow-cooked chicken and barley), and more. To end the celebrations, several provinces around the country host boisterous fireworks displays that light up the night sky.

“Happy National Day, Oman!”
