We went to Nizwa, one of the largest cities in Oman, during the Eid al Adha holiday. The "Festival of Sacrifice" or "Greater Eid" occurs 70 days after Ramadan and commemorates the prophet Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son. The holiday lasts 3+days and most Omani's go to their home villages to celebrate with family. Many villages have traditional dancing and drumming during Eid, but unfortunately we missed the show.

TYPICAL.
Indian men love Claire! They are always asking if they can take pictures of/with her. I suppose they miss their own children back home. Claire attracts a lot of attention from both men and women wherever we go.
That is so neat. All the fun stuff you get to do and see. Hopefully one day we can catch up in person. Who couldn't resist a picture with that little girl?!!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are going to some really amazing places! I love that the Indian men want photos *with* Claire. That last photo really cracks me up!
