Souvenirs You Need To Get Before Leaving Oman
Dates
Dates are the sweetest souvenir you can get in Oman. Apart from being a part of Omani’s diet, it’s also a good gift to your family and friends back in your home country. These fruits can be eaten fresh or dried but since you are flying for hours or even for a day, dried dates would be more appropriate to bring home. These are good with coffee if you want to enjoy a balanced sweet and bitter taste.
Frankincense and Incense Burner
As you all know, Oman is the Land of Frankincense and this is the best place to get your incense burner you could use at home. Burning incense in your home country would surely make you feel that you are Oman again! To enjoy this souvenir, buy the medkhan (incense burner) with resin drops and charcoal discs at any souk in Oman.
