The Small and Medium Enterprises Development Department in North Al Sharqiyah organised a craft and technology exhibition in Ibra on 29 October 2026, with artisans and owners of craft businesses taking part, according to an Oman News Agency report republished by Oman newspaper and Asdaa.
The exhibition included ten product stands, practical demonstrations of plasterwork, pottery and wool textiles, and activities for children. A discussion session also explored the experiences of two Omani businesses working in wood products, distillation and fragrances, addressing challenges in developing and marketing craft enterprises.
An information stand presented the services and programmes of the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Authority, Riyada. The exhibition's practical value lay in bringing products and information about available support together at one event. However, the report provides no sales figures or resulting agreements, and does not specify a closing date or visiting hours. It therefore does not establish that the exhibition is currently open to visitors.
