Al-Hamra, Oman, Arabian Peninsula, Middle East - Omanis perform the ar-Razha dance. This dance is performed at weddings or, in this case, to celebrate the Eid al-Adha (Feast of the Sacrifice), the annual feast through which Muslims commemorate God's mercy in allowing Abraham to sacrifice a ram instead of his son, to prove his faith. Spectators are wearing traditional Omani dishdashas and wearing kummas, traditional embroidered Omani hats.
