The story

Al Buraimi Winter Festival in Al Buraimi

Al Buraimi Winter Festival, branded 'Winter with Us,' runs each January and February at Al Buraimi Public Park near Oman's border with the United Arab Emirates. The festival positions the governorate as a winter tourism destination through evening concerts, theatre, light shows, children's activities and stalls from local artisans and home-based businesses.

Al Buraimi occupies a distinctive position on the map, a governorate wedged against Oman's border with the United Arab Emirates and historically defined more by that border than by tourism.

The place changes

The festival runs in the evenings, typically from four in the afternoon to ten at night, making it accessible to families after the heat of the day has passed

The mystery stays covered

The city starts moving

In a recent edition the festival drew more than 159,000 visitors according to figures from the Al Buraimi Governor's Office, a significant turnout for a border governorate historically overshadowed by larger tourism draws elsewhere in Oman, and the event doubles as a showcase for home-based businesses and local artisans
