Visiting Oman for the Easter may seem odd - however, if you want to have a rather interesting Easter holiday rather than a spiritual one, the Easter season is perfect for exploring Muscat, as it’s the time the famous Damask roses start to bloom.

Egg hunts are one of the first activities that comes to mind about Easter celebrations. Traditionally, Easter eggs are painted and hidden in different spots where children try to find them. While those eggs can be real eggs, chocolate eggs or plastic eggs with small presents inside are also popular. Another Easter tradition is Easter baskets, which are filled with a variety of snacks and small toys, which can be given to children on the morning of the Easter Sunday. Whether it’s painting eggs or baking Easter-themed cookies, the holiday is celebrated with activities you can enjoy with your family and friends.
