Recently, I was invited on a trip to the Middles East (Oman & Qatar) where I've had the opportunity to explore the magnificent art of the islamic world right in front of my eyes. One of the first and most amazing places I had the pleasure to walk into on my visit happened to be the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat, Oman. After years of reading about the architecture and significance of mosques to the followers of Islam, it was a very moving moment for me to set foot into such beautiful structure despite its rather young age. Nevertheless, it was nothing but a grand experience to walk around barefooted and veiled while enjoying every single piece of art (calligraphy, marble, wood works, carpets, carvings, chandeliers, stained glass windows, etc.). But for now enough of talking about my visit to the Grand Mosque as I would like to invite you to see it for yourself below.
