This is by far the best masjid in the whole of Oman and UAE. The architecture of this masjid is more closer to Islamic architecture while comparing it with the Sheikh Zayed Masjid in Abu Dhabi. The courtyard is also very beautiful. A must visit for any body in Muscat.

Make sure you are wearing the right clothes, no shorts for men. You can always visit the shop and buy a robe. The grounds outside are well groomed and the halls are enchanting. You are allowed to take pictures. There is also an information centre where they will explain you about Islam and the mosque. Well worth a visit.

Ladies, be sure you have a cover for your head. And read the signs regarding expected behavior - don't be one of THOSE... More
