Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, Islamic place of worship in Bawshar, Oman.
Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is an Islamic house of prayer in Bawshar, designed with a blend of traditional and modern architecture. The structure features multiple prayer halls, courtyards, and open grounds that work together as one unified complex.
Construction began in 1992 following an architectural competition that shaped its final design. The building was completed after several years of work and officially opened to the public in 2001.
The mosque serves as a gathering place where worshippers come together for prayer and reflection. Visitors can observe how the community uses different areas throughout the day, with certain sections dedicated to study and learning.
Non-Muslim guests should plan their visit for specific times outside of prayer sessions and dress modestly with covered arms, legs, and head covering for women. Arriving in the morning is typically the best time to explore the grounds without disrupting worshippers.
The main prayer hall contains an intricate hand-knotted carpet that showcases craftsmanship many visitors pass by without noticing. This piece represents months of meticulous work by skilled artisans who created it with traditional techniques.
