Charm Traditions in Oman

Oman's seafaring heritage — its merchants traded frankincense along the ancient incense routes to Rome, Greece, and India — imbues its charm culture with a distinctly maritime and mercantile character. The khanjar (curved dagger) is the supreme national symbol, worn at ceremonies and appearing on the national emblem as a symbol of valor and protection. Silver jewelry set with coral and turquoise is the traditional protective adornment for Omani women.

Frankincense is burned in every Omani home as a spiritual purifier and blessing — its smoke is believed to carry prayers to God and drive away malevolent spirits. Tasbih prayer beads are ubiquitous. The evil eye is guarded against with blue beads, kohl applied to children, and Quranic recitation. Silver amulet cases containing protective verses are worn by children.
