🕌 Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, Sohar – A Tranquil Marvel of Omani Architecture

#postandearn 📍 Location: Sohar, Al Batinah North Governorate, Oman Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Sohar is a masterpiece of Islamic architecture blending Persian-Timurid influence with traditional Omani design. Completed in 2016, the mosque is known for its peaceful ambiance, striking symmetry, and graceful detailing. ✨ Highlights: • Majestic Dome & Minarets: The mosque’s most iconic feature is its large turquoise-blue dome surrounded by four elegant minarets. • Elegant Interior: The prayer hall is adorned with a breathtaking chandelier, rich turquoise and gold tilework on the mihrab, and smooth white marble floors. • Community Space: It includes a public library, majlis, classrooms, and a multi-purpose hall, making it not just a place of worship but a center of learning and gathering. 🧭 Tips for Visitors: • Open to non-Muslim visitors Saturday to Thursday, between 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM. • Dress code: Women should wear long sleeves, long pants or skirts, and cover their hair. Men should wear long trousers and modest shirts. • Arrive early in the morning or around sunset for the best lighting for photography and a peaceful experience.
