Images of worship: Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque

Everyone who lives in Muscat has driven past the architectural wonder that is the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, many have visited, and many have prayed there too. This iconic monument of faith is not only a wonderful place of reflection and prayer, it is also home to an architectural museum of sorts, paying homage to the various eras of Islamic design, as well as many notable modern architectural features that serve as inspiration for the eyes and soul.

The Architecture
The design is inspired by Oman’s traditional fort architecture with a mix of contemporary Islamic element that elevated the overall design to become an architectural icon in the city. The place has a three dimensional design and feel to it. A must-visit indeed.
