Omani entrepreneur builds caravan from scratch

In Nizwa, the capital of the Ad Dakhiliyah Governorate, young entrepreneur Al-Mohannad Bin Hussam Al-Ismaili converted a bus into a fully functional caravan. The construction took one and a half months and saved approximately 8,000 Omani rials compared to buying a ready-made caravan. Al-Ismaili did all the work himself, including electrical, plumbing, and finishing, and inscribed "Nizwa Manufacturing" on the caravan as a mark of pride in Omani craftsmanship.
