Muscat – His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik warmly received Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani, Emir of the State of Qatar, upon his arrival in the Sultanate of Oman on a two-day state visit.

As Sheikh Tamim’s aircraft entered Omani airspace, it was ceremonially escorted by a squadron of military aircraft from the Royal Air Force of Oman until it landed at the Royal Private Airport. His Majesty the Sultan personally led the welcoming delegation, reflecting the deep-rooted ties between the two nations.

Upon arrival, the Emir and His Majesty walked through a guard of honour formed by the Royal Guard of Oman before proceeding to the reception hall for a brief interlude.

Following this, a grand motorcade carried the two leaders from the airport to Al Alam Palace. As they passed through Muscat Gate, they were greeted by a spectacular display of Omani tradition, with the Royal Camel Corps lining both sides of the road in a gesture of honour and respect.

A formal and popular reception was held to mark the Emir’s arrival, reinforcing the significance of this state visit in strengthening diplomatic, economic, and cultural ties between Oman and Qatar.

This visit is expected to further bolster cooperation between the two nations across various sectors, underscoring their shared commitment to regional stability and prosperity.
