Unique experiences families seek out during Ramadhan
Ramadhan in Oman signifies a period of adjustment. It is also a time when rich traditions blend with engaging activities. For Omanis and residents alike, life truly begins after Iftar—a moment when families gather around tables, sharing meals and creating memories that last a lifetime. Beyond the enjoyment of delicious food, the nights are vibrant with cultural events, entertainment, and the warmth of togetherness. Salem Al Yahyaei and his family eagerly anticipate their Iftar, which often takes them to the Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre. 'It's more than just a meal for us,' Salem shares. 'The atmosphere is magical—imagine open-air feasting accompanied by the melodies of traditional Omani music.' His 10-year-old son, Abdulrahman, beams with excitement: 'They have spectacular shows after Iftar! I love participating in the craft workshops. For me, Ramadhan is not just about fasting; it's about celebrating and learning!' Ahmed and Sarah, a couple from Egypt, enjoy the simple pleasure of evening strolls. 'After our Tarawih prayers, we wander the picturesque Muttrah Corniche,' Ahmed explains. 'The streets are alive with families, the night air is refreshing, and we indulge in Omani treats like 'Khanfaroush' while soaking up the vibrant Ramadhan atmosphere.' Sarah adds, 'It's the perfect way to relax and digest our meal while basking in the festive charm around us.' For Fatima Al Jabri, a busy mother of five, Ramadhan nights present an opportunity to explore the lively souqs. 'We adore visiting Nizwa Souq and Muttrah Souq during this time,' she enthusiastically recounts. 'The markets come alive with stalls brimming with dates, perfumes, and delightful foods. My children are fascinated by craftsmen showcasing their skills.' Her husband, Salem, adds, 'Shopping centres offer enchanting Ramadhan activities too—storytelling sessions and creative workshops that keep the kids engaged.' Unique experiences families seek out during Ramadhan For sports enthusiast Ahmed Al Yaqoubi, the essence of Ramadhan nights is mirrored in friendly football matches. 'After Iftar and Tarawih, it's game time with my friends,' he says. 'We gather in neighbourhoods, and the excitement is infectious. Many young people flock to gyms too, keeping the energy high with special Ramadhan fitness offers.' His friend Mazen adds, 'There's just something about the camaraderie during these games that makes Ramadhan feel even more special.' Khaled and Laila, a couple from Jordan, relish immersing themselves in Omani culture during Ramadhan. 'We love visiting the Oman Museum through time, especially during the evening hours,' Khaled shares. 'They host interactive activities that make learning enjoyable for our children. The traditional music performances create an enchanting atmosphere.' Laila points out the vibrant cultural seminars and poetry nights at the Cultural Club in Muscat, where stories of Omani heritage and folklore come alive, enriching the spirit of Ramadhan. For Walid Al Hasani and his family, the great outdoors becomes a sanctuary during Ramadhan. 'Sometimes we escape to the mountains for a cooler evening under the stars,' he says. 'With coffee and dates in hand, we share stories until Suhoor.' His wife, Hind, adds joyfully, 'The beaches call to us too! Imagine small gatherings around a fire at Qantab Beach, where laughter echoes and children play in the sand—these moments are the heart of our Ramadhan experience.'
