Situated in western Muscat, the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is one of the city’s treasures. Built in 2001 on the orders of the late Sultan Qaboos, and the only Omani mosque open to non-Muslims, it’s impressive for its cream-marble courtyards, minarets, and prayer hall topped by a golden dome.

Excellent trip. Our tour guide, Nasser, was friendly, hospitable, and very knowledgeable about the history of Oman and the places he took us. The whole trip with him was very comfortable and safe and I cannot recommend it highly enough to all visitors to Oman. #visitoman

Private Day Trip to Grand Mosque & Wahiba Sands

Marion_A, Jul 2023

First day in Oman

We had a 12 hours layover in Muscat and booked this tour to get a first glimpse of Muscat/Oman. Our guide Jaafar was super nice, attentive and knowledgeable. We were the first visitors in the Mosque in the morning which was a very special experience and we could really take our time to discover and also take nice pictures. Then we headed to Wahiba Sands to discover the desert and „meet“ some camels. 😉 It was a great first visit to Oman that we really enjoyed. We will for sure come back with more time. Thanks Jaafar for showing us your country!

Tatiana_V, Dec 2022

Good half-day tour but a bit rushed.

A bit chaotic since we also had to pick up people arriving on the cruise ship but the pickup from my hotel was very good. We only had 30 min at the grand mosque which was not enough - you need at least 1-1.5 hrs there. It is still a recommendable tour if you only have a half-day tour.

Morgan_A, Oct 2022

Great way to check off the main sights of Muscat City

Khaleel was a very warm and personable guide and the tour was a great way to hop between the prime spots in the city. The Audio guide was also really insightful. I would have just like d alittle more time at the Mosque and if the Opera House was included, that'd really complete the full circuit.

Nice tour, a must do :))

Muscat is a beautiful city and the tour was good, even though we didn't get to see all of it because the King of Jordan was visiting. Our tourguide was verry attentive, because I forgot my handheld fan at the bus and he brought it back to the hotel for me. Thanks again! :))
