What travelers say:

Muscat's Kabbs Sultan Mosque, not far from the international airport, is the largest mosque in the country. The overall style is in line with the low-key characteristics of the country, simple but solemn, and not the same style as the Abu Dhabi Sheikh Zeid Mosque.

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

This splendid modern Islamic building is a gift from the Sultan Qaboos to Oman to commemorate his 30th year in power. The appearance of the temple is solemn and quiet, and the interior is gorgeous. The mosque covers an area of 416,000 square meters and is made of 300,000 tons of Indian sandstone. The square main prayer hall has a side length of 74.4 meters, and the dome of the hall is 50 meters high. The appearance of the temple is mainly composed of a large dome, a main minaret and four wing minarets. The entire mosque can hold 20,000 worshippers. The main hall can hold more than 6,500 people, and the women's prayer hall can hold 750 people. The mosque is covered with a Persian carpet, the second largest in the world, measuring 70 meters by 60 meters. It took 600 women four years to complete. When visiting the mosque, long-sleeved trousers are required (jeans are not allowed), and women are required to cover their hair.

I feel inlove with you the moment i saw you! ❤️Close to the road leading to the heart of the capital Muscat stands the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Wilayat (district) Bawshar, like a radiant lighthouse attracting its visitors to interact with the spirit of Islam as a religion, science and civilisation. This mosque highlights its role as a scientific and intellectual source of knowledge across the Islamic world.

Built in North Africa in AD 761, a 135-metre long and 80-metre wide mosque was built in a year. After seven renovations and expansions, it is now the crown of North Africa.
