This is one of those mosques that will leave you awestruck at the first sight! Intricate architecture, and a lot of attention to detailing, the presentation of this Muscat mosque, too is unmissable. During the day, the dome of the mosque made from white Italian Carrara marble, shimmers as it gets hit with the rays of the sun, turning the adjoining areas, into hues of silver and golden. As the night draws, this must-see Muscat attraction is illuminated with colorful floodlights, that also make this structure a crucial element of the Muscat skyline. A 10-meter-high timber door welcomes you to the interiors that are as exemplary as it exteriors.
