Ruwi High Street 1991, Muscat, Oman
One of my earliest attempts to capture real life in the streets. Here is Oman's then busiest street. In those days a video camera was rare and people assumed you were from a TV company. Full of Indians and other Asian expats. Money changers, small shops and stores selling textiles, jewellery, watches, the latest electrical items from 1991.

Yes please we would like to see Oman in 1994, i was born in 94 so would like to see @@ishnummunshi
wow - I was here in 87 so this is only a few years after. my dad worked for the royal yacht squadron and Oman wasn't really open to tourists. I remember going up ruwi high street and every man staring at my sister as she was blonde. I remember a tape shop that did pirate tapes for like 50p. good times :) - and right at 7.19, there's the tape shop - fantastic video - thanks
It was beautiful just as today. But the theme, people and specially the cars its Just astonishing how far we have come. Something that isn't changed and never will is Jewelry Store's they just increased even more.
Mr.Munshi, What a coincidence! It's me my wife, daughter and son walking across at 4.44. Thanks a million for your video. Those kids are married now and have kids now. How fast time has flown! And what a place to live! Thanks be to God for such opportunities and memories!

Wow ! Amazing Mr Sekhar ! I love it when somebody in the crowd notices themselves in one of my videos. Hope it brought back many happy memories.
OMG the tape shop! I used to love going shopping for Thomsun Originals in Ruwi. They had so much better selection than Sabco Center. I have so many of those exact tapes you filmed there... Satriani, Maiden, Alice Cooper, etc... still have them and they still work!

Sabco Centre! Don't forget CCC as well!
This video reminded me of my childhood growing up in Ruwi. It was a simpler and happier time.

My first word to tell God bless Oman. I worked in Muscat from 1988 to 1996 and loved the country and Omani people they are very humble and hard working. I always pray to God that to keep Oman progress. Very nice video clip after seeing Ruwi streets and shops its recap my olden days. Thanks for sharing the video. Best regards.

intermittently the European lady is made visible..how very modern slim trim beautiful charming she looks..God has been benevolent to them..I feel blessed seeing her in this video..1987 88 two years worked in Ruwi High Street. .then Al Najoom Baby Home of Mr Tariq bin Mohammed Amin Al Mantheri..very good gentleman..cherishing old memories..opposite Dhofar building.
I am really not able to recognise that this is Ruwi! BTW my father used to work in Nizwa at that time. I am living here from 12 and half years & it has changed so much... Just so much fun to watch this and truly it's a very beautiful country. But after the pandemic it has changed very much... Thanks for sharing the old beautiful memories.......

Hello Mr Ishnum.Enjoy your old videos of Muscat .Was curious.Your name seems very Indian.But you sound British. So are you of Indian descent by any chance?

اخوي ترا ذول الهنود الي تتكلم عنهم ساهموا وايد بتطوير البلاد ومسكوا وظايف العماني ما يرضى يشتغل فيهن، وما شاء الله عليهم ناس قنوعه، وبنوا لنا وايد مباني، وانت تجي تنكر جميلهم وفضلهم تجاه البلاد؟!، 🤨.
