Everywhere, both in the colors and in the scents
In the traditional coffee house on the edge of the souk. In the sand-coloured cottages in the interior. At the camel races in the desert. On the traditional dhow, an Arab sailing ship. The authentic Oman is everywhere. Both in the colours and in the scents. Because in the souks it smells like it smelled thousands of years ago. Through all the cracks here the smell of incense comes from the Boswellia Sacra, the incense tree. The resin of this tree has been processed into incense for more than three thousand years.
In the winter months, the authentic culture in Muscat is put in the spotlight. In the capital there is a festival in which traditional art, culture and heritage are central. The fact that authentic culture also fits into a modern style is evident at the Muscat Fashion Show, where the latest fashion trends are seamlessly interwoven with age-old clothing styles.
