Doha: The Royal Guard of Oman (RGO) band presented a dazzling musical show last night (16 Dec 2025) as part of its participation in the opening of the first edition of Doha International Music and Marching Festival 2025.
The opening ceremony was held under the auspices of Sheikh Khalifa Hamad Al Thani, Minister of Interior of Qatar, and attended by Sayyid Ammar bin Abdullah Al Busaidi, Ambassador of the Sultanate of Oman to the State of Qatar.
The RGO’s participation in the festival—following an invitation by the Qatari Ministry of Interior—offered an opportunity to demonstrate the RGO band’s outstanding status among countries of the world.
The festival seeks to promote global cultural exchange and showcase military musical legacies.
