One of a kind Food Experiences

Traditional food in Oman is highly diversified, which is one of the reasons to visit Oman. Those who like to try new foods should visit Salalah's souks, where camel meat kebabs (meshkak) reign supreme. The meal is a must-try when served with Omani rice and bread and seasoned with local spices.

If meshkak doesn't seem appealing, how about corn in a cup? Most markets will have a vendor (or six) selling Styrofoam cups of corn, but don't be misled; this isn't the trimmed cob it appears to be. These cups are as flavorful as anything else on the table, thanks to the addition of butter, lime juice, salt, and hot red pepper. If you can get your hands on some shuwa (which is commonly created for special occasions), you should utilize it. Meat will be marinated in Omani spices, wrapped in banana or palm leaves, and baked for one or two days in an underground sand oven.
