Muscat: LuLu Exchange, one of the most prominent cross-border payments and financial services companies in the nation, celebrated Oman’s 54th National Day, with a series of memorable celebrations across its branches, bringing together communities in a display of national pride.
The main festivities were held at LuLu Exchange Al Ansab branch, inside LuLu Hypermarket. The occasion was commemorated with a cake-cutting ceremony attended by senior executives, staff, and customers.
In a gesture of inclusivity and cultural celebration, LuLu Exchange hosted memorable activities for customers and mall visitors.
