Mohammed Al Baloshi, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Omani Business Services Centre (TASAHEEL) said: “Thank God for the success of the event. I thank all the twins who came from different provinces, including those who came from Musandam and others who travelled a 1,000 km from Dhofar.” The carnival included a 49th National Day parade, car shows, traditional dance, cartoon characters, educational lectures, a health corner, and a talent show by the twins.
Ammar Al Balooshi, a twin participating in the event, said: “The event was really great. I did not expect so many twins in the Sultanate. But in the carnival the twins were the most prominent.”
