What To Expect
Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque
Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, one of the most beautiful architectural piece of work located in Wilayat (district) Bawshar is like a radiant lighthouse attracting its visitors to interact with the spirit of Islam as a religion, science and civilization. This mosque highlights its role as a scientific and intellectual source of knowledge across the Islamic world. The mosque was built over a period of 6 years from 1995 to 2001. Non-Muslims are allowed to visit the mosque every day, except Friday, from 8:00 until 11:00 am.
