Visitors are enjoying using the service to update friends and family around the world by posting comments on Facebook and sending emails about their holiday, for example. Meanwhile local residents are mainly using the service to surf their favourite websites and join in community blogs.
One of many contented customers regularly visiting the Nawras stand since the event first opened is Canadian Ben Kaufmann. Along with his friends, he has been testing and benefitting from the free 3G+ Broadband Internet connection made available at the Nawras stand and has had the opportunity to experience first-hand the advantages of this service.
"I have been using Nawras Internet and I am very happy with the speed and service. I recommend Nawras to anyone looking for fast internet," said Kaufmann.
Nawras 3G+ quality network coverage in Salalah extends beyond the festival grounds to Al Wusta, Auqad, Salalah industrial area, Dahariz, Sa'adah, Salalah airport, Raysut industrial area, Al Hasselah and Al Wadi.
After pioneering the first 3G+ network in the Sultanate, today Nawras offers a variety of ways for customers to access Broadband Internet including a selection of modems to suit different usage requirements and budgets.
The range also includes what is probably the smallest modem in Oman - the slim design E180 HSPA USB modem which is an ideal solution for those requiring high speed data on the move. The E180 plug and play modem is a sleek, elegant, modern design with folding USB connection, making it faster to upload data such as sending files, songs or heavy attachments. With a great value price, the E180 comes with a 2GB SD card meaning it also conveniently doubles as a data storage device.
For small groups of users in homes or offices, Nawras suggests a wireless router like the GlobeSurfer II or the latest Ericsson W35. Salalah Tourism Festival goers can see the full range of internet connections and have the opportunity to ask the friendly professionals on hand any questions that they may have by simply visiting the Nawras stand.
Nawras currently covers 96% of the population with its reliable EDGE network and over 40% with its tried and trusted 3G+ network.
