However, not all people from Oman practice this religion, some of them are Shia and Sunni Msulims. Omanis are not as strict as other Islamic states. In fact, the country tolerates other types of religion to be practiced in Oman.

Ramadan along with other Islamic festivities are important parts of the Omani society and like other countries, Oman also has its very own national dress. For the Omani men, the Dishdasha, a white collarless gown is worn. Sometimes the colors vary –from brown to lilac to black. Apart from the Dishdasha, men also wear a Muzzar or a turban. On special occasions, men also use a cane called the Assa.
For Omani women, a dress called a Sirwai is worn with a headdress called the Lihaf. These dresses with trousers underneath are usually very colorful –from red to green to pink to yellow. Women also adorn themselves with gold jewelry when the Sirwai is worn, making the garb rather enchanting –reminiscent of the glory that Oman had centuries ago.

Omani food is delectable. Most are simple dishes that use chicken, fish or mutton splashed with marinade or sprinkled with Omani spices. Unlike most food in Asia, Omani cuisine is not spicy at all but like its Asian neighbors, Oman is big on rice. 

AS a sign of hospitality, people of Oman treat their guests to a cup of Kahwa –Oman coffee that is popular all throughout the region.
