The most friendly & welcoming people are Omani people. I loved my give years with them. I sinaw and almudhabi. Thank you a lot for every thing you did.
Omg, always salivating with all the food! You are living the best life, Mark. Food is life! Thanks as always for taking us to your journey of discovering food in every corner of the World! Blissful life indeed. Well deserved 👏
World best country, 🇴🇲 🇴🇲. So much love and respect for this country and omani people. Spent my golden 7 years here, now watching from 🇨🇦 🍁 and refreshing memories
By far the most friendly Arabs (and that's after 20 years living in the Middle East). The new fish market is miles better than the old one that was in Muscat's old port. Great video @markwiens
That seafood looks amazing! I have always wanted to visit a a fish market! Seafood is my absolute favorite, and being in a fish market, I would be in absolute heaven! The Middle East, is truly a beautiful treasure’
Wow, this looks amazing! Oman's seafood must be incredibly fresh and flavorful given its location by the Arabian Sea. Can't wait to explore this food journey through your video!
I can see man's enjoying omani cuisines. Man will definitely try some of those deliciousness when man travels to oman and thanks for showcasing those arabian dishes
oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man ...Mark in EVERY episode lol ..hundrends of times pr video ... Seafood looked awesome , not sure about the shark , but I might give it a go if I get a chance to try .-) omani people seem so friendly and kind

I am Omani and I was surprised when I saw him eating with his left hand. In Islam, eating with the left hand is not forbidden, but it is disliked if it is without an excuse. If you do not have an excuse, it is best to adhere to the Sunnah of the Prophet and use the right hand when eating and drinking, while remembering that this is part of Islamic etiquette and not a duty. God knows best
Are those serrano peppers ?!? Wow that was alot of peppers lol. The Food looked amazing. I’ll have some with my own plate and fork though. I know its traditional to eat with hands but…..yeah. Great video and hospitality 👍👍

Here's how pre-Islamic Persia influenced Middle Eastern food: 1. Use of Herbs and Spices Persian cuisine is renowned for its use of aromatic herbs and spices like saffron, cinnamon, turmeric, and dried lime. These ingredients became staples in Middle Eastern cooking, adding depth and complexity to dishes. The balance of sweet and savory flavors, common in Persian dishes, influenced Middle Eastern stews, rice dishes, and desserts. 2. Rice and Pilaf The Persian method of cooking rice, particularly the development of pilaf (cooked rice flavored with spices, herbs, and meat or vegetables), spread across the Middle East and into Central Asia. Techniques like creating a crispy rice crust (tahdig) were unique to Persian cooking but inspired similar practices elsewhere. 3. Stews and Soups Persian stews like khoresh were precursors to Middle Eastern stews such as tagines . The use of dried fruits (apricots, raisins, prunes) alongside meat, a hallmark of Persian cooking, became widespread in Middle Eastern stews. 4. Bread Persian flatbreads, such as sangak and lavash, influenced the development of bread across the region. These breads remain staples in Middle Eastern diets. 5. Sweets and Desserts Persian desserts like halva, baklava, and noon-e nokhodchi (chickpea flour cookies) influenced Middle Eastern sweets. Persian techniques of using rosewater, cardamom, and nuts in confections were adopted widely. 6. Pomegranate and Citrus The use of pomegranate in Persian cooking, particularly in sauces and as a garnish, became a defining element of Middle Eastern cuisine. Citrus fruits, introduced through Persian agricultural innovations, also became integral. 7. Agriculture and Irrigation Persia's advanced agricultural techniques, such as the use of qanats (underground irrigation systems), supported the cultivation of fruits, nuts, and grains that became staples in Middle Eastern diets. 8. Fermented and Preserved Foods Techniques for pickling and preserving food, such as making yogurt (mast) and pickled vegetables, were central to Persian cuisine and became widespread in the Middle East.
When Mark says "Oh, man!", it sounds like Oman, the country.
yeah lol
The most friendly & welcoming people are Omani people. I loved my give years with them. I sinaw and almudhabi. Thank you a lot for every thing you did.
Thank you very much, definitely some of the most friendly people!
Wow i admire with the cleanliness of their market and on how they prepare in cooking. Yummy mouth watering..
Imagine India!
@@JamesPidkowa using gloves doesn't mean cleanliness?
@ so if everyone wore gloves in India would that be more hygienic? I really don’t think so
@ obviously you do not have a clue about hygiene 😂
@ then why would you even mention India or gloves? If you’re just racist just say the truth instead of a bunch of misinformation
What a way the man in the black t-shirt is fully enjoying everything he eats… 👍🏽💯👏🏽
This was heartwarming! The fish was beautiful ,cooked with true skill. Flaky, yet moist. Great people, Great video Mark!
Thank you for watching!
The seafood looked great, nice seafood market also. The hospitality is so nice, great friendly people
Thank you, definitely!
Beautiful place and so many tasty food. Love the videos of Oman. Good job Mark for sharing all of your experiences ❤❤❤
As a lover of fish I do appreciate a nice fishnarket. This is a wonderful one. Could get lost there for hours.
Omg, always salivating with all the food! You are living the best life, Mark. Food is life! Thanks as always for taking us to your journey of discovering food in every corner of the World! Blissful life indeed. Well deserved 👏
Omani people are so friendly and welcoming
Of course, if you pay up everyone's your friend! 😅 Until your wallet's empty
thats one way of seeing people, however the Omani's are kind in nature.. you'll never know until you visit
😂 you think oman poor country and poor people you mam need to travel 😂@@sweetsunnyvibes
Quite the opposite. You don't need to pay anything, they didn't let you pay money for them, it's something related to traditions.@@sweetsunnyvibes
Only Adam kind are people

He said the same thing twice about the king fish being cheaper than over abroad simple mistake I understood 😂😂😂
When did Omani people eat with their left hand?
I am Omani and I was surprised when I saw him eating with his left hand.
In Islam, eating with the left hand is not forbidden, but it is disliked if it is without an excuse.

I didn't realize some people eat with the left hand
I just can't imagine Mark Wiens with other emotions like sad, angry, scared...

Ceturiii gardesh
The herbs and spices are from India not from Persia
The spices are from India across the Gulf. but yes Persian food influenced all neighbors including Pakistan
