Trying OMANI FOOD for the First Time - SHUWA in FORTRESS RESTAURANT in Muscat, Oman!!

AHMED & AHMED: https://www.instagram.com/officialomantravels ROZNA: https://www.instagram.com/roznamuscat/ MY TRAVEL/FOOD BLOG: https://davidsbeenhere.com/ As my adventures in Oman officially kicked off, I set out to a local mosque and tried Omani food for the very first time in Muscat, Oman! Muscat is the capital of Oman and dates back roughly 900 years, though its roots go back even further. We started our day at Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque. DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: https://teespring.com/stores/davids-been-here The mosque was built in 2001. It’s made of Italian marble and features Islamic architecture. Our first stop was the main prayer hall, which is where you’ll find the giant chandelier and the carpet, which lost the title of the largest carpet and chandelier in the world to the mosque in Abu Dhabi. I loved the intricate white detailing. Then, we took off our shoes to go inside. The chandelier was massive (it’s also the second largest in the world due to the mosque in Abu Dhabi), and the carpet is hand-woven! I saw where the imam stands and leads the prayers. The walls there are very colorful and has scripture from the Koran. I suggest coming early, around 9 a.m., as they close before noon. Next, we saw where worshippers wash their hands and feet before going in to pray. Then, we headed to Rozna to have some traditional Omani food. The restaurant was built like a mud fortress. There were antique cars outside, and inside it was beautiful. There’s a big dining hall in the middle and 30 private, traditional dining rooms where you eat on the floor.
