National Dress
The national dress for Omani women comprises a dress worn over trousers (Sirwal) and a headdress (Lihaf). Usually the materials used are of very colourful, vibrant colours. Traditionally Omani women would wear a kind of wooden platform shoe, but nowadays most prefer to wear sandals. The cut of the clothing differs throughout regions, as does colour, embroidery and materials. Women complete their outfit with gold jewellery and cosmetics, opting for either brand name or traditionally made items.
It is said that most of the GCC countries national dress are originated from Oman

Muscat - Restaurants
For visitors who do not know what to expect from Oman cuisine, expect delicious, succulent chicken, mutton, fish, marmalades and chutneys. Herbs and spices, mingling together, creating unexpected and intriguing flavors. Blending tastes of the Middle and Far East and Africa, Muscat offers a wonderful treat for the palette. With bursts of flavor, the cuisine is mild enough for most tastes without being dull or boring.
If there is one factor that ties all Muscat cuisine together it is that the dishes tend to be both very healthy and very fresh. Salads and soups are popular, and these are made with locally grown vegetables. For variety and interest, smoked eggplant, fresh tuna fish, and delicate watercress are incorporated. Many dishes are based around rice and feature wonderfully healthy, nutty lentils or lean meat, chicken, and fish. A favorite dish of the Muscat people is Mashuai; a kingfish is roasted on a spit and served with delicious lemon rice. The mix of flavors and textures is mouth-watering.
A staple of Muscat cuisine is rice; visitors may not realize the wide range of tastes possible from this one simple ingredient. From plain steamed rice (which is wonderful with spicy curried vegetables and meats) to dishes like Maqbous, rice layered with saffron and cooked with spicy meat, rice is never just a side dish – it is an important component of many meals. It is the same way with bread. This very simple food is expertly flavored with garlic, sesame, thyme, or dates to give it new life and to make it the perfect accompaniment to any meal. In fact, a thin, round bread called Rukhal, which is made over the fire of palm leaves, makes a very nice breakfast when served with local Omani honey. It is also wonderful as a sort of crouton over spicy curry. Rices and breads, which many visitors may not normally pay attention to, suddenly become a delicious focus.
Omanis observe the old adage: eat like a king at lunch and a pauper at dinner. The main meal of the day is usually served at midday. It is at this midday feast when you will sample Muscat treats like Maqbous or, on special occasions, Arisa. Wonderful, juicy lamb, cooked with mashed rice, or perhaps some spiced meat, skewered and grilled to perfection. And if you want to experience Omani cuisine at its best – and who doesn’t? – you must visit this beautiful city during Ramadan. While that may sound odd – after all, isn’t Ramadan a month of fasting? – it is when Omanis pull out all the stops and serve up their most popular and delectable dishes.
One dish that is only prepared on the most special of occasions is Shuwa. This is as much about community as it about food; in this region, entire villages gather to cook Shuwa. It is either a whole cow or goat that is marinated in red pepper, coriander, cumin, turmeric, cardamom, garlic, and vinegar. The meat is wrapped in banana or palm leaves and placed in a roaring oven. Cooked over two days, this is the most tender, delicious, and wonderful explosion of taste that you will ever experience. If you are lucky enough to participate in a meal of Shuwa, it will be the highlight of your visit.
Another Ramadan favorite is Sakhana. This wonderful thick breakfast soup is made with wheat, sweetened with milk, molasses, and dates. Served during Ramadan, this sweet treat is enough to get your day started on the right foot. Fatta is another local favorite. This is a mixed meat and vegetable dish, served with thin, unleavened bread called Khubz rakhal. Never forget about dessert. While healthy, Omanis recognize the need to treat yourself. Try Omani Halwa. This sticky, decadent dessert is made from brown sugar, honey, eggs, and a variety of tasty and aromatic spices. Different variations are made with nuts or chocolate. And for a treat you will never forget: Lokhemat. Flour and yeast are rolled into balls, infused with cardamom, and deep fried to a luscious golden brown. They are served with sweet lime and cardamom syrup. Ramadan will become your new favorite month.

- Nomadic tribes could use only foods that could be carried with them, such as rice and dates, or animals that could travel, like goats, sheep, and camels. As the caravans journeyed throughout the Middle East, new seasonings and vegetables were discovered and added to the existing diets. Below are some of the foods eaten by the Arab nomads during the Middle Ages.
