Oman today_The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is one of Oman’s must-see landmarks. Though it is relatively new compared to other tourist attractions in Oman, the grandeur, beauty, and magnificence of this building, which is considered the largest mosque in the country, make it a must-visit during your trip. With a capacity for 20,000 worshippers, the mosque was opened in 2001, and its architecture is a blend of Islamic, Omani, and Middle Eastern styles. The construction and design of this beautiful mosque incorporate luxurious and exquisite details, from crystal chandeliers with Swarovski stones to an Iranian carpet. The Iranian carpet, which can be seen in the men’s section of the Sultan Qaboos Mosque in Muscat, is a masterpiece of Iranian carpet weaving art. Its design is inspired by the motifs of the Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque in Isfahan and many other Iranian patterns. Weaving this carpet took four years, and it covers an area of 4,263 square meters. It is worth mentioning that this mosque is one of the top tourist attractions in Oman, and appropriate attire, including covering the head for women, is required for entry.
