Visit Mutrah Souq for unique souvenirs and haggle for a better price. Try Omani shuwa, a slow-cooked meat dish, at local restaurants for a filling and affordable meal.

Mindful meoweler tips

Traditional dress is a must!

Wear pants and cover your paws when entering mosques and other traditional sites. Try on local clothing - it's colorful, comfortable and super stylish on cats!

Be respectful of local customs

Oman is a conservative Muslim country, so avoid public displays of affection and be mindful of your behavior in public - this includes meowing loudly. Keep noise levels low and show respect for the local culture.

Try Omani food

Omani cuisine is a mix of Arabic and Indian influences, with lots of fragrant spices and seafood. Try local dishes like shuwa, biryani, and halwa - they're sure to make your paws dance with happiness!
