The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is the main Mosque in the Sultanate of Oman.
In 1992 Sultan Qaboos directed that his country of Oman should have a Grand Mosque. A competition for its design took place in 1993 and after a site was chosen at Bausher construction commenced in 1995. Building work took six years and four months.
The newly built Grand Mosque was inaugurated by the Sultan of Oman on May 4, 2001.

Jebel Shams is part of Oman’s Hajar Mountain range. I started this day with the understanding I had hired a driver and 4x4. When it was time to embark, I discovered I had only rented the truck ( no driver) and I was to drive myself, a daunting realisation to say the least.
Nevertheless, I decided to give it a go. After a two-hour drive through very steep and muddy hills (4WD engaged), I arrived to the lookout. It was completely clouded over. Not the “Mountain of Sun” I hoped for. It was already 3:00 PM and I told myself I must leave by 4:30 to avoid driving back in the dark. Just as I was about to call it quits, the clouds began to dissipate and revealed this stunning, natural wonder. It was so incredibly awesome, it brought a tear or two to my eye.
There are three major goat breeds in Oman, these are Jebel Akhdar goats, the largest of the three. Photographed here in Oman's Al Hajar Mountains.

Please have a closer look at the little fishes in the LARGE size
Taken during a boat trip in the fjords of Musandam in Oman. Too bad the many dolphins I saw that day were not in those shallow waters here. My wife and I then snorkeled in this clear water and it was just awesome, so many colorful fishes and other creatures (sea cucumbers, urchins, oysters...)
