Love books? Well then, you're going to be delighted to hear that the Sultan Qaboos Mosque has an immense value for literature as well as art. There is a spectacular bar connecting the internal courtyard and the top of the mosque's wall that has elaborate inscriptions of the Thuluth script from the Koran. Filling the corridor archways are exquisite frameworks of Islamic geometrics. The front walls of the corridors feature Diwani script detailing the names of Allah.
Along the walls of the southern corridor, you will see a visible screen that holds the mosque's many facilities including the magnificent library which has an impressive number of over 20,000 reference volumes in Islamic culture, science and humanity. There's a section by the name of the Institute of Islamic Sciences that are dedicated to teaching young minds of the disciplines of religious knowledge.
