Muscat Events
The biggest event in Muscat (if not Oman) is the annual Muscat Festival, held for a month from early January in several outdoor venues around the city (website: http://muscat-festival.com). The festival showcases Omani and neighbouring Arabic culture with poetry recital, traditional dancing and craft displays. The event also attracts dance and acrobatic acts from other countries and includes fireworks and shopping stalls, mainly from the subcontinent and Far East.
While not exactly 'an event', during the Holy Month of Ramadan (dates change each year according to the Islamic calendar) tents are erected in hotel gardens for people to break their fast after sundown with a selection of Omani favourites like harees (thick cereal dish) and sweetmeats like halwa (sugar and rose water confection).
Each November, Oman celebrates National Day (18 Nov) with street lights, flags and public holidays.
