Place of worship in Oman: Jama’a Al Sultan Said Bin Taimur

Ramadan is a great opportunity to go pray in beautiful houses of worship that you might not otherwise take the time to see. Whether for Taraweeh prayers or Dhuhr, pay a visit to one of Muscat’s architectural monuments of faith.

{Jama’a Al Sultan Said Bin Taimur}

Al Sultan Said Bin Taimur Mosque was built in 1999 and named after the father of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos. The Ottman-era-inspired mosque has splendid architectural features that offer an antique, Arabesque feel, from the mesmerising natural colour palettes to shiny tiled wall to the bronzed dome and minarets. Located in Al Khuwair 33, nearby Higher College of Technology, it is one of the most iconic mosques in the area and is a soothing refuge from the surrounding hustle and bustle.
