"The Grandest Mosque in Muscat Proportions can be deceiving in a mosque that is littered with superlatives – largest, biggest, most, prettiest are common words you hear when researching the mosque that was completed in 2001. The mosque’s total capacity is 20,000 visitors/worshipers – larger in size than many of the cities in Oman. The dome rises 164 feet above the floor, and the chandelier illuminates a space of 46,000 square feet below. Walking into the main prayer hall is breathtaking, thanks to the chandelier made of Swarovski crystals with a diameter of 26 feet. But the hall is also graced by the world's second-largest handmade Persian rug. The delicate rug took four years to produce and weighs in at 21 tons. 600 dedicated women tied 1,700 million knots to create this masterpiece. One of my favorite parts about the rug was the graduated color used to mimic the light reflection outward. More Info: http://www.ottsworld.com/blogs/sultan-qaboos-grand-mosque-oman/ Non-Muslims are allowed to visit the mosque every day, except Friday, from 8:30 until 11:00 am. Visitors are asked to dress modestly and in a way befitting places of worship. Women are also required to cover their hair."

The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is a must-visit in Muscat, truly the highlight of the city. Entry is completely free. I went straight from the airport and was able to leave my large backpack with the security at the entrance, which made the visit much more comfortable. In the mosque's modest dresscode, the head covered. The mosque is stunning and very well maintained. The main prayer hall is especially impressive: spacious, peaceful, and pleasantly cool inside.

Such a beautiful mosque, so peaceful and quiet especially during Eid holidays. The walk up to and around the mosque is very beautiful but as it’s really hot take plenty of water or a UV umbrella to prevent heatstroke. If you don’t have appropriate clothing you have the option to rent some, but be mindful of what you wear to respect the Islamic traditions.

A breathtaking mosque in Muscat that has a mix of Arab, Ottoman, Persian, and Mughal architectural designs. While the mosque is open for worship most of the time, there are specific times for tourists and tours. Entering the mosque premises has a dress code of being fully dressed for all, and females have to additionally cover their heads. One has to enter from the main entrance where one has to pass through security. The entrance has an office of guides for those who wish to explore the mosque with a guide. While entering the mosque is free, renting a guide comes with a fee. If you have a bag, you’ll need to leave it at the entrance; which, is safe. There are no lockers for keeping your belongings. Once in, you’ll visit the main garden, the first building, and then the mosque. The premises has ample shoe shelves, restrooms, and ablution areas. Worth allocating 60 minutes here.

What an amazing experience it was to visit and explore Sultan Qaboos’s Grand Mosque. I felt welcomed and was amazed by the architecture and art work. I highly recommend the experience and feel that if you came to Muscat and missed this then you would have really missed out! I recommend that you check out visiting times as they are limited to morning and completely closed to non-Muslims on Fridays.

An incredible mosque that has some of the best architecture I’ve ever seen. Very clean and quiet, amazing for pictures and inside the mosque it’s really pretty. Was also free to enter as well which was a bonus.
