Omani Khabeesa

O says Oman ,the beautiful Arab country.As per wikipedia ,Omanis usually eat their main daily meal at midday, while the evening meal is lighter. During Ramadan, dinner is served after the prayers, sometimes as late as 11 pm. However these dinner timings differ according to each family – for instance some families would choose to eat right after maghrib prayers and have dessert after taraweh.
