Muscat - With the Christmas festivities gripping the city, Muscat got decked up in red all around. The malls are decorated with stars and Xmas trees, while Santas in red can be seen coming out often - dancing to the tunes of Christmas songs and carols and handing out chocolates and gifts to children at parks and malls. Winter markets are flooded with freshly baked cakes and cookies, while the revellers are out to set the mood of the festive season.
A tree at Al Falaj Hotel, an Aitken Spence Hotels of Sri Lanka, standing more than 60ft tall has been described as the tallest sustainable Christmas tree in Oman.
At a time when the world is going gaga over ‘sustainability’ and environmental protection, a Xmas tree made out of discarded materials and recycled items that include used.
