In this episode, Bourdain embarks on his inaugural trip to the Sultanate of Oman, discovering a serene landscape filled with stunning beauty that surprises him. He explores the capital, Muscat, and visits the bustling port city of Muttrah, where he indulges in shuwa at Bait Al Luban—a traditional dish requiring an elaborate method of slow-cooking meat buried underground over hot coals. Additionally, he journeys to the Sharqiya Sands, situated on the fringe of the Empty Quarter, where he shares a meal with local Bedouins living in the vast expanse of the world’s largest sand desert.
