Jabal Al Akhdar: The third edition of the 'Rumana' event, held at Janaen Farm in Jabal Al Akhdar, Al Dakhiliyah Governorate, attracted 8,953 visitors from its launch on 4 July until 31 July. The event offers a rich selection of interactive experiences and family-friendly activities in the heart of Oman's natural landscapes. Running until 27 September, the event is supported by the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism in partnership with Al Dakhiliyah Governorate, in collaboration with 'Tibi' Company and the Agrotourism Development Company 'Janaen'. It is part of an integrated vision aimed at transforming the natural and cultural assets of Al Jabal Al Akhdar into inspiring tourism experiences. This initiative reinforces Oman's position as a leading regional tourism destination, promotes sustainable agritourism, empowers rural communities, and leverages agricultural resources to enhance the tourism experience. One of the key attractions of this year's 'Rumana' event is the fig-picking experience, which has become one of the most popular activities during the Al Jabal Al Akhdar season. Visitors begin their journey with an introductory tour led by a local farmer, followed by the hands-on experience of picking figs directly from the trees. This activity fosters a unique connection between visitors and nature, while also providing opportunities for memorable photos. The experience is both educational and entertaining, making it ideal for families and local agriculture enthusiasts. Coinciding with the Jabal Al Akhdar Festival, the 'Rumana' event celebrates the agricultural and tourism potential of the wilayat, blending authentic agritourism with vibrant family-friendly atmospheres. This year, visitors can enjoy direct fruit-picking experiences—including pomegranates, figs, and pears—during their harvest seasons, in addition to weekly educational and recreational workshops catering to all age groups. The event's open-air stage features interactive performances and family competitions, while children can enjoy a dedicated entertainment zone with various games and a miniature car racing track.

Khazaen Dry Port joins global shipping network as final container destination
Muscat: Khazaen Dry Port, a subsidiary of Asyad Group, has joined the global shipping network CMA CGM, enabling the port to become an approved final destination for receiving containers. This move enhances the port's integration with international shipping lines and opens broader horizons for local importers and exporters to benefit from a more efficient and flexible global distribution network. The port recently received its first container shipment under this global network, arriving from international ports via Sohar Port as a transit hub. Customs clearance and handling procedures were completed directly at Khazaen Port, thanks to its advanced operational readiness and cutting-edge technical infrastructure. Khazaen Dry Port offers numerous operational advantages that support local and international trade, including free storage periods of up to 14 days for loaded containers and 21 days for empty containers. It also provides advanced services for refrigerated containers, including electrical hookup and pre-trip inspection, as well as on-site food and agricultural inspection facilities, accelerating the entry of goods into local markets and enhancing supply chain efficiency. This achievement reflects the success of a strategic partnership between Asyad Group, represented by Asyad Ports and Free Zones, and the global CMA CGM Group. The service was activated through a flexible customs corridor developed in collaboration with the Royal Oman Police (ROP) Customs Department. This corridor allows containers to be transported using a "shipping agent's seal" without traditional customs sealing procedures, with the option of a "written financial guarantee" as an alternative to bank guarantees. This reduces costs for operators, encourages direct connectivity, and improves logistical efficiency.
