Royal Speech waves (part 4)

18th November is National Day in Oman. On that day, in 1940, the current leader Sultan Qaboos, the architect of the modernization of the Sultanate was born.  Today 26 and tomorrow 27 are national holidays for the private and the public sector. In this part, I made my personal choice of some special projects that still took place on the occasion of the 44th National Day Celebrations.
