Friday Winter Market opens up spreading cheer and joy

In Oman typically this is the season when a lot of weekend Market Fairs take place. It starts happening from the month of November as the weather changes. This year we were not sure if it would take place, but here it is. We have our Friday winter markets started and it really feels like festive time now.

Oman is not a very crowded place so that gives one advantage in this Corona times. Anyways our Tourism has been opened up full fledge, with that almost every activity is also open now. We have around 200 average cases of Covid daily in the Country which is a very very miniscule number, just as equivalent to a normal cold and flu, so it is a very good sign for the economy to be back to normal. The one reason I see is that the numbers are not hyped up here and are shown in actual what is there, so it gives a true picture of the so called pandemic.

Yesterday was our first Winter Market of the Season and it was absolutely a cheer. Feels like we are again back to our normal lives completely. I have been spending a lot of time outdoors these days since the weather is just so beautiful.

The Friday Market typically has stalls where a lot of traditional cultural items, food stalls, home made stuff, clothing and kids activity takes place. Since it's festive time with Xmas in just few days there is a whole lot of Xmas decoration all over the place.
In the Fair we also had the kids favorite Santa and the Live band. The Fair was held by the Sea Side at the Ritz Carlton Al Bustan Resort.

Let me share some pictures with you all from the evening.

All of these are made from Raisins. They look like glass and heavy, but when you hold them you will feel more like plastic and very light weight

The items they sell at the fair are very beautiful.
Besides that the place is also very beautiful.
It is good that they are entering a phase of normality and that the cases of COVID are 200 daily no more.
We must also continue to use the biosecurity protocols and not let down our guard.

Absolutely, when people do it mindfully without policing then the safety comes easily. Thank you for visiting my blog @alfredogarc

You are lucky to be able to go out and enjoy the spirit of normal life. Luckily in Oman you have such nice, warm weather, being at water side, very refreshing.
I am very jealous.

The stalls are amazing, really love it, would probably buy few sets of the tea party :)

Hehe, yes, right now I also feel that I am in the best place. Life is different here, people are mindful and they do not need policing which is making things safer.
The fair was small but very energetic.
