Doha: Oryx GTL has organised a heritage ceremony for its employees at the Diplomatic Club attended by the executive management and a large number of employees.

The ceremony has started with performance of national anthem of the State of Qatar, followed by a video for the company’s staff from various nationalities who commemorated this cheerful occasion.

It is worth mentioning that Oryx GTL employs consist of more than 34 different nationalities from all around the world.

Furthermore, the celebration hosted a variety of heritage events and activities by which the company aimed at introducing employees to the diverse cultures of this country. Among the events, a group of students from Qatar Primary School for Boys presented the Ardah Parade (folkloric dance), which impressed everyone. The Young Volunteer Center also participated with Oryx GTL in the celebration.

Besides, the ceremony included the amazing show of the pearl diver singer ‘Al Nahham’. Ali Al Marri has impressed everyone in the ceremony with his melodious voice through his masterful performance of various kinds of the art of pearl diver singing.

We need to remember this type of tradition is rooted in our past. Our ancestors sang these songs when they were on their fishing trips or pearl-diving excursions, mostly to keep themselves entertained.

The ceremony also included a series of competitions that has got positive audience reaction and brought joy and pleasure to them.
