Omani STREET FOOD TOUR of MUTRAH SOUQ | Muscat, Oman

🧳OMAN TRAVELS: / officialomantravels
🌎 MY TRAVEL/FOOD BLOG: davidsbeenhere.com/
My adventures in beautiful Muscat, Oman continued with an Omani street food tour of the Mutrah Souq. Let’s head out and explore it!
Mutrah Souq is a traditional Arab market under wooden timber roofing. You can buy clothing, souvenirs, home goods, street food, and much more there!
👕 DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: teespring.com/stores/davids-b...
It’s right by the Mutrah Cornich, which is an oceanside boardwalk. Inside the souq are tons of shops. Immediately, we found Al-Raha Fast Food, where they were selling Indian snacks like samosas and pakoras.
Further on were vendors selling spices and incense, as well as a coffee shop (Abna Haji Bin Beri Trad. Coffee) selling rose milk. My guides Ahmed and Hussain said it’s their favorite place to buy it. They only cost us about $0.40 each!
The rose milk was creamy, frothy, and cold. They also gave us some crispy veg samosas. I liked the potatoes and onions inside.
Next, we saw shops selling jewelry, lamps, chess boards, magnets, knives, and more. At Saffron Leading Village, they sold Indian and Iranian spices, including turmeric, black pepper and saffron.
They sell 3 different varieties of saffron. It’s the most expensive spice in the world! In another shop, we saw some oil lamps like the ones from Aladdin, a sword, and more. I got 3 pairs of earrings for my daughters for about $16 USD.
The guy showed me some anime drawings his daughter did. They were really good.
The Mutrah Souq reminded me a lot of the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. Then, at Mohammed Ridha Bin Khamis Bin Ali Al-Lawati Trad. Shoes, I got me some Marc Comfort Omani-style sandals for about $25 USD!
At the next shop, we found some traditional hats called kummas. I tried a few on and went with a blue-and-white one. Then, I got a traditional white dishdasha, which extends to your ankles, and a head turban called a massar.
Ahmed tied a couple of different massars around head while I was wearing the hat. I went with two kummas, two massars, and the dishdasha, for $50 USD. He gave me a small deal!
From there, we continued through the souq. A lot of the items we saw were imported from India and Iran. Then, we stopped at a spot making beef shawarma with cabbage, hot sauce, and tahini.
The cabbage was nice and crunchy, and the beef really tender. The toasted pita was almost paper thin! I loved the juices from the meat mixing with the hot sauce! It was a great deal for under $1 USD.
Finally, we exited the souq and headed to a nearby spot to get some chicken shawarma! The cook mixed it with cabbage and tahini. We had some chilies and hot sauce on the side.
The chicken shawarma was meatier than the beef one, and fattier as well. It was tastier and had more sauce, too. It cost us $4 USD for four.
Then, we stopped at a 70-year-oldcoffee shop that sells samosas, small sandwiches, and more. I saw them grilling some thin chapatis. We tried some small veg samosas. Then, we watched them make some sandwiches using the chapatis.
They added cream cheese, chips, and hot sauce to the chapati. Of course, we added hot sauce. It reminded me of the rolled sandwiches I ate in Lebanon.
The hot sauce reminded me of tabasco. I loved the contrast between the flaky parotta, the crispy chips, and the velvety sour cream!
Finally, we finished with some karak tea. It was frothy and contained lots of milk and cardamom. I loved it!

The cane or (khaizaran/ bakoorah) is used as an accessory for men nowadays. It used to be used as a weapon back in the day. My father told me even kids used to carry one when going to public places. Nowadays its just an accessory thats taken in occasions such as marriage proposals.

[@crabmusic1]

I have seen Lawrence of Arabia 12 times maybe it had more I love the movie and he looks exactly like the real Lawrence of Arabia is uncanny the way they size them up together fabulous movie and I fully understand what you mean by the movie when it comes to David you have your critique right on the spot. peace. ☮️🇺🇸
