I started with a guided tour of the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, an outstanding architectural creation of Oman. From outside, the Grand Mosque looks like a huge ball of gold glistening in the bright sun, but once I enter, the sheer opulence is overwhelming. Built from 3,00,000 tonnes of Indian sandstone, it can accommodate up to 20,000 worshippers.Atlas & Boots Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat. The centrepiece of any visit is the main prayer hall, which houses an enormous chandelier and a grand hand-loomed carpet, the second largest in the world at 4,343m 2 in size. To visit, women should cover their hair, legs and shoulders. 2. Royal Opera House Muscat.
