Rachel K: Huge castle, one of Oman’s UNESCO sites. It is currently undergoing repair as some of the renovations over time introduced inappropriate materials like cement and stone.
Rachel K: Some days, you can see men perform the Al-Razfa, a UNESCO intangible heritage dance done in two facing lines with singing, sword shaking and instrument playing.
Rachel K: Very good overview of Omani history. Favorite galleries: the fort room with the model forts and the intangible heritage room which highlights local dances and music.
Rachel K: The Arabic breakfast comes with a little bit of everything: fresh bread, halloumi cheese, black olives, yogurt and fresh orange juice. Effort to put it all together.
Rachel K: This place has farmers market paella! It’s so nice to have a vegan paella option that is thoughtful. The Spanish wine selection is fantastic too.
