Al Sahwa Tower, Clock tower in Seeb, Oman.
The Al Sahwa Tower stands as a central feature at a major roundabout, displaying time through four clock faces and incorporating mosaic tile decorations.
The tower reflects Sultan Qaboos's vision of Oman's advancement, with its name 'Sahwa' meaning 'awakening' in reference to his inaugural speech.
Eight mosaic tiles around the tower present different scenes of Omani life, including traditional fishing activities that represent local maritime heritage.
The structure serves as a navigation point at the intersection of routes connecting Muscat City, Sohar, Seeb, Nizwa, and Salalah.
Visitors can access the tower through an underground passage that provides protection from the constant flow of traffic circulating the roundabout.
