  • 1. Omanuna

    The new face of Oman’s gateway to government eservices is now called Omanuna. Through Omanuna, which was created as your life partner will help you access government eservices. The concept of Omanuna was created from the sail of a ship, your direction to your destination. From that Omanuna will help you reach your requirements in government eservices. The name was also derived from the people itself through a social network competition. This national view towards government eservices will encompass all.
