Crafts industries are the fruit of a nation. They played a leading role in the Omani thinking and culture. These industries were among the basics of life in the Omani society. They were essential in the household, agriculture, marine and even transport as people used animals in their travels. So, craft industries were an indispensable part of the Omani social life
Articles of craft industries were the most important Omani exports to all countries which Omani sailors were able to reach thanks to their political and commercial relations overseas.
Omani crafts industries were famous for their high quality items and good workmanship. So, there was big demand for Omani products in East Africa, India, China, Baghdad and Basra. The role played by Omani crafts industries is a source of pride for Oman and the Omanis over the history. This traditional Omani culture is still making its way to local and international markets. They are the Omani ambassador who embodies our interest in our cultural identity and our strong link to and respect for our cultural heritage which we seek to develop and present in modern ways.
