I can't say that i'm really into Mosques in a big way, but you CANNOT go to Muscat and not go to see this spectacular building. It is amazing and the craftmanship inside is beautiful. Ladies, make sure you cover up. It has the world's biggest chandelier and the world's biggest carpet. Don't forget your camera as you can take... more

The Grand Mosque is incredibly impressive. Until recently, it featured the largest woven carpet in the world (evidently a new carpet in Abu Dhabi is now larger).

AT the tourist entrance there is a shop selling a guide to the Mosque - 1 rial. They also give you an excellent free map of Oman which is useful if travelling by car.... more
Having just come back from Oman and looking at my photos of the newly built Sultan Quaboos State Mosque I have to enthuse about its grace and majesty. It is an awesome but not overpowering building and both an addition and tribute to Omani culture. To visit is a spiritual experience. It is extraordinary to think that the architect is... more
This beautiful building is open to the public (non Muslim) between 8 - 11 every morning except Thursday and Friday. It is simply stunning in its design and very tasteful. The main prayer room is a work of art to rival any other religious building. Entry is free. Women must cover their arms and head plus trousers or skirts down... more
