Wednesday, May 30: Ailsa from Where’s my backpack? created a challenge this week on street markets. She writes: There is something about a street market that makes everything look, smell and taste just a little bit better.
Here are some street market scenes from Oman. I find these markets different from colorful markets in other parts of the world; the earth-toned offerings here are evocative of the desert.

Oh I LOVE these pics!! So much colour, shape and texture!! Wow, it looks like a great experience to wander through the markets. Beautiful series.
Thank you so much Louise. I’m glad you enjoyed them. 🙂
Beautiful photos!
Thank you ruthincolorado!
Beautiful photos of beautiful goods!
Thank you Retiring Sort! I’m glad you enjoyed them. 🙂
You can guess by now how much I love these photos!!!
I’m glad you do, Gilly! Thanks so much for your encouragement… 🙂
I’m coveting those chests!
Me too Jo, but how would I get them home?? I’d need to ship through a cargo company. Believe me, I’m tempted!
Oh I love these, catbird, especially that top one, with the traditional clothes and that wonderful archway at the back of the market street. Gorgeous!
Thank you Ailsa! I’m glad you like them! Another fun challenge, as always.
I really like those clay mugs. In Nizwa souq you say?
I will have to look for them, but fired of course.
Yes, Princess, everything in “street markets” was from Nizwa souq!
We can see a lot of think around us, give it ourself impresiveness ,but we will not be able to know or understand how other people attitude to ward it until we act like them ,believe what the believe even we don’t have such like beliving before ,but it is one of the best way I can call it techniqe to see what other see…….(my opinion)!
Hmmm, I’m not sure what you’re trying to say, Mohammed. The only way I can see the world is through my own eyes, backed up by my own experiences in life, whatever they may be. The only thing I want to do is show the world how I see it, so they can know and understand me. However other people see what I see is totally up to them. I can’t see the world through everyone’s eyes and I don’t expect them to agree with whatever I see. Anyway, I’m not really sure I understand what you’re saying, especially as it relates to this blog post about street markets in Oman. 🙂
Just an idea and trying to understand other …I’m sure you know more than me …I read many things and I see different pictures from your blog,Honestly, you show me the oman beauty that I;v never imageined,I’d like to thank you so much.
Thank you Mohammed! 🙂
Fascinating!
Thank you!!
This week’s challenge is a tricky one, but I bet you’re up to it! xxx Ailsa http://wheresmybackpack.com/2012/06/01/rhythm/
Count me in! I’ll come up with something… 🙂
Hi Cathy, I just wanted to ask you, but realized I already pressed post, if I featured your photos of the sahab hotel? I linked back to your blog. Please let know right away if you want me to remove them!
It’s fine, Princess. Thanks for the link back to my blog and the mention. I’m glad you liked the photos enough to use them! 🙂
They were better than the ones of the same areas on the hotel’s own website;) mashaAllah.
That’s such a nice compliment Princess. Thank you!! 🙂
Gorgeous photos, especially the first one! Oman is the one place in the gulf region that I really want to visit.
Thank you Madhu! When you come to visit, let me know and you can be my guest!
Oh, thank you 🙂
