Oman 🇴🇲Masket Small Tour

Muscat in June. As a member of the Gulf Arab countries, Oman🇴🇲 is naturally wealthy. After the plane landed, I had exchanged 50 US dollars for 16.92 Omani Riyals. As the flight was arriving at 23:30, I was lazy and decided to take a taxi to the hotel. However, I was charged 10 riyals for the 15-minute ride, so I only had 6.92 yuan left 😂. The next morning, head to the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in the center of Muscat. Since the distance was not too far (about 2.5 kilometers one way), I decided to walk there. Unexpectedly, the temperature in Muscat at 7 o'clock in the morning had reached 38 degrees (reaching 42 degrees at noon). After the last round trip, my whole body was soaked with sweat, just like soaking in a seawater swimming pool, and water droplets kept coming out of every pore of my body. The Grand Mosque was built in 1992. Every corner and detail is decorated with intricate hollow patterns. Although not magnificent, it is low-key and luxurious. It is a mixture of different materials, including mosaics, marble, various paints, and even carpets. In addition to being exquisite, every detail is handled just right. Calm down, look around carefully, and be able to find the power of peace and tranquility through where you are. #FrankincenseLand *Frankincense is a plant fragrance that is a resin collected from a tree and is a sacred object in many religious ceremonies.
