Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque Tony Walsh

Visiting the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is a 'must do' on any visit to Oman. This book will give you background about Islam in Oman - a clear route through the Mosque so that you not only see it all, and get great photos - and information about the craftspeople involved in the mosque, including from the Welsh countryside and German towns. The guide's interior has a plan of the Mosque and photographs.




This is a book to buy now if you wish to learn about the Mosque rather than simply wander through it and leave without a greater understanding.

This book is available with Colour Photos.
