Welcome To

Oman

The country is proud of its cocoon, and the records of its neighbours do bother Oman much. Yet, Oman is a top diaspora for traditions and culture that has been vouched for ages. The locals own the identity of warmth and acceptability. The ambience will treat you with a unique and classy frankincense scent. Travellers get a bonus by engaging with the Arab culture without the shimmering opulence of its resources. Windy deserts, breathtaking landscapes and neat corniches sense the ancient era in a modern setup.

NAKHAL FORT- MASSIVE SHIELD OF THE ANCIENT KINGS

The reigning king in 1834, Imam Said Bin Sultan, raised the towers and entrance of this fort. The massive structure has a base of Islamic architecture and offers heartbeat-skipping sights. The panoramic lens of the fort is worth a collage in your living room. You will find the fort windy once you step in, thanks to the design of the windows to keep the structure cool in those times. Many forts in Oman are guarded by rugged rocks, making the construction work easy and crucial for the invaders to step in. Nakhal Fort is a top Omani tourist attraction.

DHOFAR- A FARAWAY OMANI DELIGHT

Moving towards the southern region of Oman, a chink of land is separated by a desert. Thanks to the geological bonus, Dhofar is quiet, scenic and serene. The setup is quite contagious as it becomes hard to believe how a desert is transformed into a lush green patch after seasonal rains. You will find swans, some migratory wings and an archeological arrangement to muse you. Dhofar is a tiny marvel that is like a rare gem on the Arabian crown. The amazing Salalah is quite endearing with ancient ruins of former kingdoms.

Oman

MUSCAT- A GENTLE CRADLE

Well guarded by the Omani spikes and wedged decently with the oceans on the other side, Muscat is soft and easy. The neatly carved corniche punctuated with clean parks and Arabian souks visit the Omani capital. The most unexampled sunsets are in Muscat. As the sun dips, the city comes to live with locals brewing at casual cafes or dine outs. The lifestyle of Muscat is laid back as the locals absorb at their own pace. With a soft callout for prayers at a nearby mosque, the city redirects itself to surrender to the one and only.

Local culture & heritage

CLOTHING

The national dress for Omani men is a long ankle-length gown without collars. Usually, the clothing of men called dishdasha is white. Still, occasionally, it is worn in lilac and brown colours as well. Men pair it with a turban called the muzzar. An essential element of male elegance is the khanjar which is a curved dagger worn at ceremonial gatherings. The female national dress is worn over a pair of trousers and a headdress called lihaf. The material used for female dressing is vibrant, colourful and embroidered for special occasions.

OMANI FOOD

Oman has been positioned as a huge trading platform. Countries like Iran, India, Eastern Mediterranean and Africa have left their flavoured imprints on Omani cuisine. Dishes are commonly based on fish, chicken and lamb, along with a staple of rice. Travellers will relish marinated meats and vegetables tossed with local herbs and spices. Kabsa is the nation's favourite. It is also known as machboos in the Persian Gulf region.
