Vodafone Oman returns to the Muscat International Book Fair
Muscat: Building on its journey of connecting people, Vodafone Oman has returned to the Muscat International Book Fair in its 29th edition with a renewed passion for knowledge. This year, the Vodafone space goes beyond books to offer an engaging experience that celebrates exploration and learning, inspired by the very people who walk through its doors.
Under the theme 'Alam Al Maarifa', Vodafone's participation reflects its belief that knowledge is not one-size-fits-all; it is personal, evolving, and deeply connected to everyday life. The space is an open platform for discovery, where young minds can discover ideas and explore conversations that speak to their world. At the centre of it all are a series of interactive discussions and workshops featuring voices from across Oman's creative and intellectual landscape. From storytelling and travel to music and coffee culture, the sessions promise engaging discussions and inspirational reflections.
Vodafone's participation this year reaffirms its belief that technology, when placed in the right context, can open new pathways to knowledge, curiosity, and personal growth. 'Alam Al Maarifa' is a continuation of the company's commitment to being where young people are, understanding what drives them, and responding with tools that are relevant to their lives. Whether it's access to a book, a conversation that inspires, or a solution that simplifies their day, Vodafone is working to redefine what it means to be a telecom partner in today's world; one that listens, adapts, and grows alongside its community.
