Salalah, souk (6)

We were unable to find the main souk in Salalah, but we did come across one near the sultan’s palace that was interesting to visit but not the easiest place to photograph. I did manage to get a few, so will be uploading all of them today.

This man was trying on a kuma at one of countless shops selling the cap worn by Omani men when they aren’t wearing the more elaborate moussa. Apparently you pick out the one you want, and it is then tailored to fit your head exactly. It’s hard to see in this image, but he definitely caught me photographing him.

A view of incense and burners at the souk posted earlier today:
