Pickup from the hotel and proceed for a photo stop of Grand Mosque (not possible on Friday & other public holidays), highlight of the Muscat city.  Completed in 2001, Grand Mosque is a beautiful building which looks modern but shows that modern craftsmen have retained the skills necessary to create this wonderful traditional environment. It is impossible not to take more and more pictures. The handmade carpets, the chandeliers, the ceiling of the great dome in the main prayer room are absolute 'must sees'.  Kindly note, ladies to be fully covered and to carry a head scarf and men should wear trousers.

Not every trip guarantees a sighting, but you are sure to enjoy a trip out to sea and enhance your knowledge of nature’s most fascinating marine mammals.
