On Monday night, we took the boys to see our first movie in Oman. We saw Small
Foot. It was a pretty cute movie
with some funny moments that got the boys really laughing. I enjoyed the musical numbers, but I do think
they all sounded a little too similar (A similar feeling I felt when watching The Greatest Showman. Please don’t hate me.)
At a weekday matinee, we paid 3.3 OR per person for the
tickets. This would work out to
approximately $8 per ticket. Not a great
price, but pretty average. We had a deal
for a free large popcorn for it being our first movie at the theater. We also bought a single combo which gave us a
regular size drink, regular popcorn, and a candy bar for 1.5 OR. That would be $3.75. Can you imagine only paying $3.75 for a soda
alone at a theater in the states? I was
shocked at how low the concession prices were!

You pick out the seats when you purchase much like fancy or renovated theaters in the states. The boys thought that was fascinating.
There are movies here that are not in English, but we
obviously chose a movie in English. It
did, however, have subtitles in Arabic and French. We all enjoyed the French as we have been
practicing French with the boys. E is a
bit behind since the rest of his classmates have been learning French since
third year.
It was a fun night, and we plan to go again. We have many upcoming kid movies on our list
thanks to previews we saw when we took the boys to Incredibles 2 this summer.
Now we know it will be a fun experience here in Oman.
