Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque - Oman's biggest mosque.
Getting There - We stayed at DoubleTree by Hilton Muscat Qurum. The mosque is roughly 20 minutes drive from the hotel.
Attractions - Inaugurated in 2001, this is Oman's biggest mosque. It houses the world's largest hand woven Persian carpet, a masterpiece that took 600 weavers 4 years to complete.
The mosque also features a colossal Swarovski crystal chandelier that illuminates the main prayer hall. An architectural marvel, the mosque complex is distinguished by its five minarets, symbolizing the 5 pillars of islam, with the main minaret soaring to an impressive height of 91.5m.
