Camel Meat cooked in a special way

Showah Method - the meat is cooked over 24 hrs in a hole in the earth.

We visited a 400 year old town 45 min outside of Nizwa, Oman. That was build from clay and straw and wood. Most of it in ruins, but some houses are restored and start looking habitable now. 3 min by bus from there we went to a restaurant that caters to the masses. 

Lots of cars with locals in them, picked up their orders there. Lots of tables on the terrasse were occupied by eaters. Our group picked an other large table. Inside lots of cubicles with shoes on the outside, where whole families with many kids ate.

The service was very fast. After the order to either eat lamb or camel, the broth and the salad came.

Then huge portions of meat and rice together with Arabic flatbread and hummus. Later we also had a cup of cinnamon tea.

A great experiance, but a half sized portion would have been enough for me.
