PDO Oil & Gas Exhibition

Muscat


Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) is responsible for much of the rapid growth of infrastructure throughout the country, as outlined in the interesting displays here. The interactive displays will appeal to science-lovers in general and those heading into the oil and gas industry in particular. To reach the museum from Qurm, follow the signs for the Crowne Plaza Hotel and take the first right turn along Sayh Al Malih St.
