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. Visitors are asked to dress modestly and in a way befitting places of worship (long pants or skirt and long sleeves top for women). Women are also required to cover their hair with shawl.
Mutrah Souq
We continue by driving via waterfront corniche and visit Mutrah Souq, one of the oldest markets in Oman, dating back about two hundred years. Its antiquity has perhaps increased the extent of its beauty, magic and allure. You cannot see Mutrah Souq from the outside, as it stretched deep within the city.
