Not one rial less

At the cattle market in Nizwa: Women instruct men on the price during cattle trading.

The women wear the battoulah, a mask traditionally worn by Muslim Arab women in Arab states of the Persian Gulf, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar, as well as in southern Iran. | Oman

    To some extent, it gives them a superhero look.
