Eid Al Adha
In Oman, the majority is occupied by the Muslim community and thus, Eid al-Fitr is one of the most important religious festivals in the country. If you stay in a popular resort like Al Falaj Hotel Muscat during your stay, you will be able to witness people in Oman arriving with their families to have meals together and spend some quality time as a part of the celebrations.
The Sultan Camel Race Cup
Camel Racing is considered one of the oldest sports in Arabia and this festival was initially formed with the goal of encouraging this sport. This is a festival that lasts a couple of days and is enjoyed by many foreign visitors as a habit.
