What travelers say:
Muscat's Kabbs Sultan Mosque, not far from the international airport, is the largest mosque in the country. The overall style is in line with the low-key characteristics of the country, simple but solemn, and not the same style as the Abu Dhabi Sheikh Zeid Mosque.

The square main prayer hall has a side length of 74.4 meters, and the dome of the hall is 50 meters high.

I feel inlove with you the moment i saw you! ❤️Close to the road leading to the heart of the capital Muscat stands the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Wilayat (district) Bawshar, like a radiant lighthouse attracting its visitors to interact with the spirit of Islam as a religion, science and civilisation. This mosque highlights its role as a scientific and intellectual source of knowledge across the Islamic world.
The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is the largest mosque in Oman, located in the capital city of Muscat.
The beauty and cleanliness is unique. The gardens and flowers are wonderful. The buildings and architecture is eye catching. However hijab is compulsory here. But you enjoy it as well
Built in North Africa in AD 761, a 135-metre long and 80-metre wide mosque was built in a year. After seven renovations and expansions, it is now the crown of North Africa.
