Oman - is not only a country of deserts and mountains, it is also known for its unique hospitality, which is deeply rooted in the culture and traditions of the people. Traveling to Oman from Russia, you will not only discover breathtaking landscapes, but also immerse yourself in a world of traditions where every guest becomes part of the family.
Hospitality in every home
In Oman, hospitality is not just a greeting, it is a way of life. When you enter an Omani home, you are greeted with genuine joy. The first thing you notice is the aroma of fresh coffee. Coffee, known as kava, is not just a drink here, but a ritual. The host brews it himself in a special coffee machine called a dalla and serves it in small cups. The guest must take three cups: the first in honor of God, the second for peace, and the third for friendship.
Traditional treat
Coffee is invariably followed by jalua, a sweet Omani dish resembling candy, made from a mixture of dates, butter, flour and cardamom. It is not just a treat, but a sign of respect and friendship. Omanis believe that sharing sweets is a way of cementing the bonds between people.
Respect and etiquette
In Oman, hospitality is accompanied by strict etiquette. For example, taking off your shoes before entering a house is not only polite, but also respectful of the cleanliness of the house. It's also important to accept treats offered, even if you're not hungry; refusing may be taken as an insult. But don't worry, your hosts will always understand if you explain your situation in a polite and respectful manner.
Holidays and socializing
Omanis often invite guests to celebrate holidays such as Ramadan or National Day. On these days, hospitality is at its peak, with houses full of guests, tables full of food, and music playing. These holidays are a great opportunity for tourists not only to taste the local food, but also to see how people live, how they rejoice and share happiness.
Travel to Oman - is not just a change of scenery, it is an immersion into a culture where every guest is valued as part of a big family. Hospitality here is not an empty word, it is a tradition passed down from generation to generation, which makes each visit unique and unforgettable.
