The passion for camping among Omanis is not new. The campsite is a haven where they relax and enjoy peace and quietude. The clear sky with twinkling sparkling stars and the tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of the city, contributes to a feeling of mental clarity.

However, before the pieces of meat are inserted, spices/seasonings such as cinnamon, cardamom, garlic, salt, cinnamon, black pepper, and other available spices are added.
Then the firewood – usually from the Samar tree – is ignited. And when the firewood turns into red embers, the grilling session begins. The dish is usually accompanied by a special sauce, which is tamarind base; this makes meat tender.
The option of eating it with or without bread is totally up to you.
Go on; enjoy the camping atmosphere and delicious food.
