This Video Will Make Every Omani Want to Travel to Zanzibar!

If you ever needed a reason to book a ticket to Zanzibar, this video is it! A group of six energetic young men have turned a regular beach day into a full-on celebration of the deep-rooted connection between Oman and Zanzibar, and it’s all centered around a giant portrait of Sultan Haitham bin Tariq.

The fun kicks off with the crew gathering under palm trees, hyped up and tossing red confetti as they cheer around the Sultan’s portrait. One guy even sprints with the framed masterpiece straight into the sea, pausing for a dramatic pose with boats bobbing in the background. Talk about making a splash!

Things get even more creative as the group launches into a series of acrobatic stunts. With the portrait as their centerpiece, flips, jumps, and high-flying kicks take over the shoreline. The guy in the white tank top and pink shorts totally steals the show with a forward flip over the portrait, while his friends leap, kick, and even bring a bright pink chair into the action for some mid-air magic. The energy is contagious, and the moves are seriously impressive.

All this excitement is more than just fun and games—it’s a nod to the centuries-old bond between Oman and Zanzibar. The video wraps up with the group shouting, “Sultan Haitham, Zanzibar!” as traditional music plays, leaving everyone watching ready to pack their bags and join the party. Hats off to the youth of Zanzibar for keeping the spirit alive and showing off their creative flair!
