This glorious piece of modern Islamic architecture is a gift to the nation from Sultan Qaboos to mark his 30th year of reign. The main prayer hall is breathtakingly rich. The Persian carpet alone measures 70m by 60m wide, making it the second-largest hand-loomed Iranian carpet in the world.

Muscat City lies in midst of dry mountains, lulled by the Arabian Sea. A visit to the Grand Mosque, Mattrah Souq, Fish market and National museum is a must. Trip to Badar Al Khiran, Wadi Shab, Wahiba Sands and going for dolphin watching and snorkeling or diving is something you don’t want to miss while you are in beautiful city.

One of the most exciting new attractions is Museum of illusions at Muscat Grand Mall. The museum offers an intriguing visual, sensual and educational experience with a handful of new, unexplored illusions.
