The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is a remarkable example of contemporary Islamic architecture, completed in 2001 and named after the Sultan of Oman. Constructed from Indian sandstone, the mosque features a majestic dome standing at 50 metres and a stunning prayer hall adorned with a handwoven Persian carpet, one of the largest in the world. Visitors can explore its expansive courtyards and lush gardens, which provide a serene environment for reflection. It's best to visit early in the day for cooler temperatures and fewer crowds. The mosque is located in the Bawshar district, not far from the Royal Opera House, making it a worthy addition to your itinerary.
