Omani drinks

Perhaps the most distinctive local drink is traditional coffee (gahwa) – although this doesn’t bear much resemblance to European coffee.

SHORT INFORMATION

An introduction to health care in Oman

Oman offers high quality health care equal to that of western Europe and the United States, except with regards to highly specialized treatments.

HOLIDAYS AND TRADITIONS

Culture of Oman

Even though Oman is a modern country, western influences are quite restricted. The Ibadi form of Islam is also conservative like Sunni Islam and Shi'a Islam. About 75% of Oman is Muslim. As is the case with most Middle Eastern countries, alcohol is only available in some hotels and few restaurants.
