Muscat – Muscat Municipality celebrated Earth Hour 2026 by turning off lights at key spots from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM, highlighting its commitment to sustainability. This year’s theme, ‘Our Power, Our Planet,’ focused on how we can tackle environmental issues together.
During this hour, lights went dark at important locations like the Muscat Governorate General Office and Riyam Park. This act was more than just symbolic; it aimed to inspire energy conservation and responsible behavior towards our planet.
The municipality emphasized that this initiative supports ongoing environmental programs and the preservation of natural resources. They believe every little action counts. Community involvement is vital; individual efforts contribute significantly to global climate action.
