As part of its continuous international activities and participation, the Aldin Theater of Culture and Art takes part in the global event at the Dubai Expo 2020.
The group will be showcasing the best of their skills from October 2021 to April 2022 covering the 6 months duration of the expo in the United Arab Emirates.
The global event includes participants from 191 countries and is expected to welcome almost 25 million visitors coming from all around the world to enjoy the variety of activities organized during the event.
Aldin Theater will present a theatrical performance in conjunction with the Omani Youth Day celebrated on the 26th of October every year. The theatrical performance is called Art’s Box, directed by Salim Al Rawahi.

He added, “The performance will demonstrate the issues faced by the artists and how important it is for the artists to present their best in what they do. We hope that we succeed in this work and help in introducing Oman as a special cultural and artistic destination to the world’.
The Aldin Theater of Culture and Art is considered one of the most successful and well-known theatre groups in the Sultanate. This participation comes along with the international participation of Aldin in Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, Kuwait, Iran, Tunisia, and Romania to name a few.
