Our distinctiveness lies in our permission to pick up our guests directly from the port, saving them extra shuttle expenses. We conduct tour excursions to Muscat’s most representative and traditional spots, including souks and museums, to explore the true essence of the city.
- Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque - Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat is Oman’s biggest mosque with an area of 416,000 m2 and has a capacity of over 20,000 worshippers; 8,000 people can fit inside and the courtyard can easily hold up to 12,000 people. This mosque is one of the few mosques in Arabia which allows entry for non-Muslim visitors. The mosque is a wonder of modern architecture and is a fusion of Omani, Islamic, and Middle-Eastern architectural styles.
The mosque has four main sections: the men’s prayer hall, a Musalla (prayer hall) for ladies-with a capacity of 750 worshippers, a library and a lecture theatre. There is also an Islam Centre where you will be served free dates, coffee, tea, and other refreshments and you can interact with local Omani women. An ablution room with a fountain in the centre is also open to visitors at non-prayer times and is where worshippers perform purification rituals before prayer times
