The stunning architecture of Sohar’s Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque will not miss your attention as you drive from Muscat to Sohar. Inaugurated in October 2016, the mosque’s blue dome and off-white marble structure make it a sight that is truly lovely to behold.
The mosque covers a total area of 181,000 square metres and features a built up area of 28,778 square metres, with the area allocated to the mosque also accommodating the landscaping, car parks and other facilities.
The main prayer hall of the mosque accommodates 4,600 worshippers. It also has a prayer area for 740 women. The mosque is located opposite Bait Bahjat Al Andhar in the Wilayat of Sohar, and represents a new landmark added to the deep-rooted historic landmarks in the Governorate of Al Batinah.
