Internet search engine giant Google is participating in the Sultanate's celebration of the 49th National Day by putting up a doodle of the Omani National Flag on the Google.com and Chrome browser homepages.
When users click on the animated flag, it takes them to website links, videos, and photos about Omani National Day.
