The first bull to run away is declared the loser, but not before he is given a couple of chances more to prove himself before a cheering and enthusiastic audience. The fight lasts just for a few minutes and the bulls suffer little or no injury, except for a few scratches and a bruised ego on the part of both the losing bull and its owner. Sightseeing Sightseeing in exotic Muscat is a unique experince. Half and full-day city tours offered by most tour operators include visits to the old walled city of Muscat, the Qurm museum and other special interest museums, as well as the picturesque seafront Mutrah neighbourhood with its old white buildings and labyrinthine souq where visitors can buy the most exquisite silver jewellery. Shopping Oman is unquestionably a great place for souvenir shopping.
Local craftsmen excel in arts and handicrafts such as silversmithig and weaving.
Visitors can buy intricately carved handmade daggers, coffee pots, rose-water sprinklers, incense burners,rugs,saddles,bags,camelstraps,and fragrant frankincense. Women's jewellery is perhaps the finest expression of the silversmiths' art, ranging from small silver boxes designed to hold kohl, to bracelets, earrings and rings, heavy anklets, and huge belts and necklaces. Go rock-climbing or camping overnight. Watch camel races, bullfights or just take in a sightseeing tour. Oman more than just a visit.
