Ramadan: Oman’s neighbourly iftars

In neighbourhoods across Oman, before the sun sets during the Holy Month, neighbours begin exchanging delicacies from their kitchens with one another, making for deliciously diverse Iftar spreads. This tradition began to ensure that anyone in need had good food to eat, and has since evolved into a beloved tradition of generosity. “Neighbours” often include friends who live miles away, or even strangers who are known to be in need.
