8. Shopping at souke

The most authentic Omani shopping can be experienced at the traditional souks (souqs) – time-honoured markets that take pride of place in nearly every town across the country. 

Early mornings are the best time to visit the local souk when heated conversations in Arabic whirl through the intricate laneways, tangled in the fragrance of frankincense and sharp spices.

 Souks are more than just a place to shop, they are a place to meet up with friends old and new and embrace vibrant culture and customs.

They are also a fantastic place for souvenir shopping. 

Unique gifts to keep an eye out for include trademark Omani silver jewellery and home wares, incense powders and perfumed oils, handcrafted pottery, 

replica or antique khanjars (ceremonial curved daggers) .
