• Hospitality: Omanians are described as very hospitable. Courtesy and niceness are essential. Even a mere As alaykum (peace be upon you) will do.
• Social traditions: Do not show much overt affection in public places; alcohol is served only in licensed places, in Ramadan respect the fasting of the locals.
• The markets (souks): The forts, the traditional architecture, dhow-boats along the coast, and so on mirror the lively culture of Oman.
• Language: Arabic is the official language; English is also very common in tourist places. It is welcome to know some Arabic words (hello, thank you).
