For Dubai resident Sameeha, Ramadan was a busy time when growing up in Oman.

“We have Iftars for our family friends and also community members,” she said. “It has become a tradition over the years which we look forward to.” But the most special days for her were when her mother made the Omani thareed. “I love the thareed my mom makes,” she said.

“She would even make the regag to go with it from scratch. Every Ramadan, that’s the one dish I crave for.”
