There are many restaurants and several stalls inside food court with lot of options for foodies. Large aquarium view is also one of main attractions in this place.

- jbwhitehouseDallas, TX1,780 contributionsThis exclusive 1053 foot hotel on its own island can be seen from many directions.

- Linda D3 contributionsThere is no need for a tour and there is no need for the audio guide. The place is very well laid out and everything is explained in Hebrew and English - and to be honest, a picture does speak a thousand words... It is a gut wrenching experience and make give yourself time to reflect as you go. I found the recollections of the survivors which are on screens in many rooms the most powerful piece of the experience. I have been to the holocaust museums in Berlin and Washington - but this is different as it feels (and is) personal. Do it end of day (give yourself half a day) and do not plan on doing anything when you finish but reflect on humanities inhumanity to mankindWritten January 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tahir Khanzadah6 contributionsAn extraordinary structure of new-age Islamic architecture captures your attention and keeps your eyes glued to it when you zoom in on the main street of Muscat. The Supreme Ruler, HM Sultan Qaboos, gifted this grandeur piece of art to the people of his Sultanate of Oman to mark 30 years of his Accession to the throne. This mosque is awe-inspiring and is certainly worth a visit if simply to appreciate its magnitude, craftsmanship and the architectural design it represents.
Construction of the mosque began in 1995 and took six years to complete. The four corner minarets (45m high) along with the 90m high central minaret represent the five pillars of Islam. With a capacity of 20,000 worshippers including 750 women in a private musalla (prayer hall), the mosque is an active place of worship, particularly on Fridays. The main prayer hall with a capacity of around 6,600 is breathtakingly rich with a magnificent 50 m high dome and the central Swarovski crystal chandelier. The Persian carpet in the main hall (measuring 60m by 70m and weighing 21 tonnes) is the second largest in the world; it was made in Khurasan in Iran and occupied 600 women fully for four years. This mosque highlights its role as a scientific and intellectual source of knowledge across the Islamic world. It houses a Library with a total capacity of 20,000 books.
Visitors are required to dress modestly, covering arms and legs and avoiding tight clothing. Women and girls (aged seven and above) must cover their hair. Abayyas (full-length dresses) and scarves can be hired from the mosque cafe and giftshop for OR2.500; some form of ID is required as a deposit. Tours are available. Mwasalat buses stop outside the mosque on the main road.
The tranquillity and serenity of the riwaaqs (open-air arcades), archways and courtyards is quite an experience in itself. Even the non-religious visitor will probably be moved in some way by a tour of its interior.
The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in its entirety stands as an assertive symbol of Oman’s confidence and spirituality.Written February 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Would recommend late afternoon/early evening so that you can see it in the light but then also when it's lit up - the Doha skiyline is amazing. No hassle whatsover.
