Omanis in Fort Worth

Take a moment to look at these first few pictures. This is pure joy.

These young men and women from the country of Oman were in awe of being around real cowboys, horses, and longhorns.

It was a teachable moment for all of us in the City of Fort Worth, learning about the Middle East and Muslim culture. Of all the cities in North America they could have chosen, they picked Fort Worth because of our unique projects related to innovation and economic development.
