The Khareef Dhofar Festival 2024 Oman

Our two projections during The Khareef Dhofar Festival 2024 in Oman (15 June - 1 September at Burj An Nahdah & Ittin Square, Salalah)

It was a huge, large-scale event, and we were just part of it. Many other events occurred on the same dates. We realized a 3D video and laser mapping projection on all four sides of the Burj An Nahdah Tower, along with a water animation fountain attraction. This attraction featured a combination of a water screen shield with 20-meter jets that create variable effects. It was enhanced by lasers, video projections, and ambient lighting. The video content for both projections was custom-designed and featured national symbols, logos, animals, and elements of space. It was created to appeal to all age groups, including many tourists and children.
Showtimes in time slots so that as many people as possible can see them shows (from 5 pm to 1 am)
