Shuwa Pit

Shuwa Pit is a fascinating historical monument in Oman that allows you to experience the traditional method of food preparation.

It's an underground oven used to prepare Shuwa, a traditional dish of marinated goat or lamb, wrapped in banana leaves and roasted for over 24 hours.

This unique cooking technique, using Sumr wood, gives the meat its unique flavor and tenderness. Shuwa has deep cultural significance in Oman and is served at special celebrations, reflecting the spirit of community and hospitality of Omanis.
