Ramadhan is a time of fasting of course. But in modern Oman it’s also a period of new clothes purchasing . Men’s Turbans’ are a key purchase, to do with new DishDash and Sandals.

I must say that, accompanying a friend, I felt the shop keeper needed the ‘patience of Job’ our neighbour buried in Salalah . Colour, Pattern, Quality and of course price are key elements in making a decision and with hundreds of Turbans to choose from, in each shop it’s a task that is not for the faint hearted.
