Culture of Oman

[1] There are other accessories men can wear, for example, the muzzar (a type of turban), the assa (a cane or stick used mainly for formal occasions), and the khanjar.

[2] The khanjar is a ceremonial curved dagger worn during formal occasions, often described as "an important symbol of male elegance".

When in public, most women in cities wear the abaya, a modest black dress or cloak worn over the clothes, and the hijab, the typical Muslim hair covering.

Everyday meals generally have components such as rice, a wide variety of soups, salad, curry, and fresh vegetables.

This is usually served before the consumption of kahwa, a preparation of coffee with cardamom, which is very popular and remains a symbol of hospitality.
