i think that dishdasha policing should start at the Shangrila hotel ... where they have completely destroyed the Omani dishdasha and made into some kind of shirt with slits from the side and strange embroidery... I for one refuse to wear any of the "new design" dishdashas ... 3mani kwayti ... m'7ussar ... i make sure my dishdashas are traditional normal cut ... one button .. two pockets .. three lines on sleeve and front .. two lines in the back .. 2.5 inch karkoosha ....
although i agree with the idea of not changing the dishdasha ... i also agree that is should be your choice to wear the "new" dishdasha or not .. it should NOT be dictated what you should wear in general ... if you work for a ministry they can obviously dictate what you wear ..

Every time I read something like this in the papers, I can only think that there are a lot of people in the government who are not working hard enough.
Seriously, we have massive unemployment, rampant inflation, troubles with our youth, and this is what some bright spark at MOCI comes up with?
Great post, as usual.

What is Ministry of Culture doing? Working on measures to counter inflation?
I think Omani dishdashas are the best in GCC, so elegant. Why would anyone want to tamper with the design?

I wouldn't blame them if they release something like this because we came to see people screwing up the nice design of Omani dishdasha.

hahaha such things make me really laugh, when people in authority think that they can control the public. don't they just get that the world is so opened that anyone can embrace any idea and can take anything from wherever they want. I think they should make it available and some young men will wear it for one year, two years, five, ten years and then thy'll be back to their original style of dishdasha>>>> tararaaa I totally respect the right to choose what to wear as long as it respects the public proprieties !!!

Very strange indeed, especially in a country where ex-pats can dress as they wish. I think it's odd that any higher authority would say anything about how nationals dress.
