Muscat – The revitalization of these beloved landmarks was made possible thanks to the efforts of Muscat Municipality.
The fountains, which have long been symbols of beauty and tranquillity in the prominent locations of Al Bustan and Muttrah, had been inactive for several years. However, with the National Day approaching, the Municipality undertook a major refurbishment project to bring them back to life.
Residents and visitors to Muscat can now enjoy the soothing sights and sounds of flowing water, with the fountains at both Al Bustan and Muttrah Corniche illuminated and operational, offering a festive atmosphere for the occasion.
