Description

Good to Know

“I felt like an outsider, up until that night. A night I will forever cherish…” - Zayr Experiencer. What does it take to experience the true culture of a country? to be surrounded by the intriguing traditional designs, smells of local food, laughter at weird jokes from another custom. Never have authentic local experiences been so real! Become a “Zayr” (a visitor) and access the rich Omani culture, humbling hospitality, and the most deliciously home-made food! Engage in wonderful conversations with your host and Indulge in the rich Omani traditions and customs. We at Zayr, provide these experiences using an ancient old technique; inviting guests over to share a meal with a local Omani host at his home. The meal consists of a starter, main course and dessert fully prepared and cooked by the host. Each hosting family has its unique experience, story, and culture! They have big hearts, that is why they have opened their homes to visitors. MEET.EAT.CONNECT.

A great cultural experience

Authentic Omani Home is a great way to experience true Omani culture up close. Everyone was so friendly and gracious and the food was outstanding! I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to do something unique.

Fantastic experience to eat and be at the home of Omani people

We booked a diner at the house of Omani people and started with the local coffee and dates and introduced each other in their living room. We had nice dicsussions and talked with the whole family. Then the diner was served outside and we had tradionally food together. Really a nice and interesting to do as excursion instead of eating in a restaurant.

Oh(man) what a night!

A big SHUKRAN to Rahma and her family for a wonderful evening of family, food and fun! We had such a wonderful time. You and your family were such kind and gracious hosts. We will definitely be back! Shukran, Ron

Food Experience with An Omani Family

We had the fortunate experience of having a wonderful dinner with an Omani family through Zayr.om last night! My family and I had a great time and completely enjoyed the hospitality of Rahman and her family. The hosts went above and beyond to make our evening special with an overview of Omani traditions, henna, food explanations, and much more. The food choice were extravagant and I can honestly say was one of the best meals I have had in Oman. Thank you Zayr for a great time!

An insight to Omani life

We were met at our hotel by Hamed and driven through Muscat to his home where we met his wife Wiaam. Both are well travelled and we had a very interesting evening discussing Omani culture and daily life. A delightful couple who went out of their way to make us welcome. They also stayed in touch during our trip around Oman and helped out with a couple of queries that we had along the way. The food was excellent and we would thoroughly recommend signing up for this experience.

Response from ViatorFebruary 23, 2020

Brian, It was a pleasure having you guys over! Both Wiaam and I enjoyed your visit. All the best! Hamed
