Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Sohar opened on 28 October 2016 as one of the newest large mosques in the Gulf, built in an Uzbek style recalling the Bibi Khanym Mosque with soaring domes and intricate carving. Its main prayer hall holds forty six hundred worshippers alongside a prayer hall for women that holds seven hundred forty, and four minarets rise over eighty four meters above the one hundred eighty one thousand square meter site, which also houses classrooms, a multipurpose hall, a majlis, and a large public library. It sits a short distance from Sohar Fort on the road toward Dubai, and non Muslim visitors are welcome outside prayer times if dressed modestly.
