A quiet moment at the beautiful Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque
just before the Dzuhor (afternoon) prayers commenced.
The mosque is open to non-Muslim visitors from 8:30 am to 11 a.m and is closed on Fridays, as it is a public holiday in most Arab nations, including the Sultanate of Oman.

The Interior of this grand mosque features the world's second largest hand-woven carpet and chandelier.

While staying in Muscat, I spent a morning exploring the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, an architectural masterpiece and a haven for those drawn to light and shadow. Completed in 2001, this iconic landmark offers endless opportunities for creative compositions, with its domes, archways, and intricate patterns creating striking contrasts of light and shadow. – Muscat, Oman
Chandelier with Swarovski Crystals in the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque
Please enlarge to see details!!!!
The huge Chandelier in the Sultan Qaboos Mosque, Muscat, Oman.
The chandelier above the praying hall is 14 metres (46 feet) tall and was manufactured by the Italian company Faustig. Since the mosque is 90 metres (300 feet) high, the chandler looks proportional, but it used to be the world's largest chandelier, before again being replaced in this respect by the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi. It weighs 8.5 tons, includes 600,000 crystals, 1,122 halogen bulbs complete with dimming system, and includes a staircase for maintenance within the chandelier. Thirty-four smaller chandeliers of the same design are hung in other parts of the building.
