Mohammed Al Ameen Mosque
جامع محمد الأمين
A large white mosque on a hillside in Bousher, lit up at night. Its interior features a huge crystal chandelier, coloured glass, and elaborate decoration.
The Mohammed Al Ameen Mosque was completed in 2014 on high ground beside the highway in Bousher. Its white marble exterior and golden dome make it very striking when lit up at night. It is the second most popular mosque in Muscat. Inside are a large crystal chandelier, coloured glass, and fine stone carvings, and it can hold several thousand worshippers. Non-Muslims can usually visit during non-prayer hours in the morning, free of charge. Visitors must wear long sleeves and trousers, and women must cover their hair. It is about a 10-minute drive from the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque.
Opening hours
Non-Muslim visits generally Sat–Thu mornings (check on site)
