Place of worship in Oman: Masjid Salem Bin Said Al Rawahi

Ramadan presents a great opportunity to go pray in beautiful houses of worship that you might not otherwise see. Whether for Taraweeh prayers or Dhuhr, pay a visit to one of Muscat’s architectural monuments of faith.

{ Masjid Salem Bin Said Al Rawahi }

One of the prettiest places of worship in the city can be found in a posh neighbourhood of Qurum at the Masjid Salem Bin Said Al Rawahi, which opened in 2006. The cheerful exterior sports a combination of pink and peachy orange tiles with classic Omani details adorning the roof, traditional Islamic carvings along the walls and strikingly contemporary window design. The white and gold accented blue dome breaks-up the otherwise soft colour palette of the exterior, making it even more inviting.
