DHOW IN OUR TRADITIONAL ATTIRE 

Hello Everyone, Today I am going to start a new journey here with you all sharing my thoughts, views and maybe giveaway few links to those who would want to shop their heart away. It has been a couple of months since I shifted to Muscat, Oman from my hometown Bangalore, India. When I landed here little did I know that this city is so culturally profound and people here are so warm in welcoming us. 

My heartfelt thanks to His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said Al Said and everyone here.

I am happy to see Men and Women dress up in their traditional attire. Men wear a White robe called as Dishdasha and Women wear a Black robe called Abaya. On some occasions, men wear a Khanjar on their waist.

 

In certain places like while Gymming or trekking or any other sport activity they are seen in different clothing. This impressed me a lot; Do you ask why? Because I don’t see all the women in India wearing a Saree or any other traditional attire and so do the Men in Dhoti or a Panche.

So I decided, if not every day but for some occasion we should sport our traditional attire. The day wasn’t very far. Me and my husband had booked ourselves for a traditional cruising here in Muscat called Dhow Cruise, which is a traditional Omani boat used for transportation and fishing, and what better way to enjoy the cruise while draped in a saree and dhoti. 

I had to insist my husband to wear a dhoti. It was easy to convince him especially after watching this movie (Detective Byomkesh Bakshy). He was ready to experiment so here are few pictures of the event. 

Check out the Facebook Page of the event that we booked through. Hurry up guys because they have one soon to be held on May 8^th 2015.
