In Oman typically this is the season when a lot of weekend Market Fairs take place. It starts happening from the month of November as the weather changes. This year we were not sure if it would take place, but here it is. We have our Friday winter markets started and it really feels like festive time now.
Oman is not a very crowded place so that gives one advantage in this Corona times. Anyways our Tourism has been opened up full fledge, with that almost every activity is also open now. We have around 200 average cases of Covid daily in the Country which is a very very miniscule number, just as equivalent to a normal cold and flu, so it is a very good sign for the economy to be back to normal. The one reason I see is that the numbers are not hyped up here and are shown in actual what is there, so it gives a true picture of the so called pandemic.
Yesterday was our first Winter Market of the Season and it was absolutely a cheer. Feels like we are again back to our normal lives completely. I have been spending a lot of time outdoors these days since the weather is just so beautiful.
The Friday Market typically has stalls where a lot of traditional cultural items, food stalls, home made stuff, clothing and kids activity takes place. Since it's festive time with Xmas in just few days there is a whole lot of Xmas decoration all over the place.
In the Fair we also had the kids favorite Santa and the Live band. The Fair was held by the Sea Side at the Ritz Carlton Al Bustan Resort.
Let me share some pictures with you all from the evening.
The Live band for the evening
All of these are made from Raisins. They look like glass and heavy, but when you hold them you will feel more like plastic and very light weight
Some items made from Porcelain.
These are the typical Middle East designs
These are some Spa and Meditation items
Kids delight
The Vibe is so cheerful
Who wants to have some Dimsums :-)
For the kids there is a Ginger Bread House decoration activity. They are having a good time.
Santa is also enjoying his evening.
After visiting the fair we went to the beach for a walk. The sky was gorgeous.
It was a wonderful and a refreshing evening.
