Bu...Even for non-Dhofaris Dhofari spotting is easy. But mashAllah they've got some kind of style. It makes you stare that's for sure.<br /><br />In my more rural village you can spot a Muscati, a Dhofari, A Sharqiyah girl, or a beduoin, but the village girls are ALL the same... plain black islamyia or same style sleeve as that black abaya with minimum decoration, colourful lendli underneath with laysu on top. Maybe a black shayla overtop that. Never niqab unless she's very very strict with herself religious. Or her husband is an idiot (rare though). So it is impossible for me to pick out a Rustaq person, Nakhl girl, Bahla woman, Hamra lady, Nizwa chick ect, beyond accent.<br /><br />In a way Dhofaris are lucky. You can easily spot exactly who you have to hide from;) and most of a time I can smell someone Dhofari before I see them by their perfume or Bukhoor;)<br /><br />You can only do that with OOOOOOOOOOOLD Al Batinah or Dakhliyia women by smelling the rose water on them.Omani Princess (not Omani...yet)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11738377563210269837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311943055243587440.post-26503648663075063672012-03-15T12:55:45.296+04:002012-03-15T12:55:45.296+04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Deepti Rao Guptahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08942040938188787459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311943055243587440.post-35763704333509760132012-03-15T12:53:06.545+04:002012-03-15T12:53:06.545+04:00Totally agree with you on Muscat and Salalah being...Totally agree with you on Muscat and Salalah being like two different countries.. people, mannerisms, outlooks, priorities... differ so much ..

I do it here in Bahrain looking at the Omani peoples and trying to place where they come from, most of them Muscati though. <br /> Ive just made myself a chai caramel latte, please do join me for a cuppa, chin wag & store brought cake lol. <br />Love you sweets.
