Oman Travel | Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Oman is the only mosque officially open to the public in Oman, allowing non-Muslims to visit during designated hours, making it an important window for cross-cultural exchange in Oman. For everyone visiting Oman, a free visit to the mosque has become the first must-see attraction, open from 8 AM to 11 AM. · It is not only the pinnacle of Omani religious and architectural art, showcasing the solemnity of religion with modern aesthetics. The building primarily uses Indian sandstone, integrating traditional Arabian arched designs and Persian-style domes, presenting the simple beauty of modern architectural art with minimalist lines. · At sunset, it is recommended to climb Mutrah Fort. The entrance fee is 🎫3 Omani Rials. Climbing this seaside fortress offers a panoramic view of the stunning S-shaped bay. In October, sunset is at 5:30 PM. Many people queue up to take photos and capture the light and shadows. For watching the sunset, I highly recommend chartering a boat for a 2-hour sea voyage, watching the sun slowly set until it disappears below the horizon, bringing a perfect end to the day. Cities by the sea always bring a sense of healing.
