Named for the former sultan of Oman under whose rule Oman prospered, the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is only an hour's drive from Al Wadi Hotel Sohar which is considered one of the best hotels in Oman; and is one of the most breath-taking mosques you will ever see, anywhere in the world. The mosque is open to the public on Saturdays to Thursdays from 8 am to 11 am. Mosques are rarely made available for non-Muslims, but Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque also allows women to enter as long as they are properly veiled. So, make the most of this opportunity. You won't regret it.
