The place looks exceptionally good during night time as everything lights up and can be seen from far away...The interior isn't as good as the exterior but still it's all worth the visit.
PRO TIP: While visiting big Mosques, purposefully lose the way to find more beauty along the way...

Due to its location in a high hill, it is visible from -almost- all over Muscat. Very impressive -marble- mosque, especially in the night. Easy accesible, whith large parking.The mosque is subject to speciall dress code, as all the mosques. It worths a visit, especially a full moon night!

such a nice and also small mosque, fantastique, not only by night, also during the day. Be aware of visiting times, which are between 8-11am every day except fridays.

The mosque looks very interesting, is on the hill and attracts attention. It is nicely illuminated in the evenings.

This mosque is visible from a distant as you drive into Muscat from the airport. It is absolutely beautiful with the white marble finish and amzing 3 large dome. And the Chanderliers inside the main prayer room are amzing. the imam who led the Jum'aah prayer was not too bad either.

Well it's an extordinary design on top hill and for your inside entry only for Muslim. Also in general if visit any Mosque than insure you wear full cover cloths. Short and sleeveless and open hair is not allowed.

Due to its central location on a hilltop, Mohammed Al Ameen Mosque can be seen from many parts of the city. It is entirely built with white marble giving it a very striking appearance. Unfortunately it was already closed when I visited it (you have to go early in the morning), however it was still very impressive seeing as the building is beautifully lit up during nighttime.

This very large travertine marble was built with great care and taste. The grounds, mosque and setting are well worth a visit.

Due to its location on elevation, it can be viewed from almost a distance anywhere in Muscat. It has plenty of parking, easily accessible and nice to enjoy during moonlight.

Is this mosque within walking distance from the port? We dock at 9am & wonder if we have time to get to this mosque before it closes at 11 am

Depends on which port? if it is Sultan Qabous port then you must take a taxi it is a bit far to walk (20 min by car)

Hi, what distance is the mosque from the airport please? Is there public transport on the bus? thankyou

I assume you ask from the airport as you will have some time there between planes? The Mosque is only open 8am-11am (I think) but is worth a visit. Taxis are inexpensive and totally negotiable so from the airport I'd haggle for a round trip. 12km - in the previous answer sounds about right to me.

Is this mosque open to non-muslims? Struggling to find out. If so, what times?

Hi,
yes the mosque is open to non muslims. You just have to bring your own suitable clothes, as they don't rent any.
I went there in the morning, not sure what the official opening timings are. But you should be good to go between 8.30 and 11 am, Saturday to Thursday. If you are not sure go to the library first, there is a really friendly Egyptian there who will answer all your questions. Enjoy the tour :)

For men it's open all day long but not for wome . Visiting hours from 7am till 11am for both men and women. Being a Muslim doesn't make a difference.

Marhaba,
We are again in muscat for only two days and as we visited the grand mosque several times early in the morning (it was stunning), we are wondering if non-muslims are allowed to visit this new beautiful mosque?
Please let me know, I'm really exciting and curious about it.
Looking forward to your answer, shukran
Marsalama,

A map would be useful. It is very visible but access from Sultan Qaboos street and The Expressway but the detail of actually getting there is as normal in Oman (i.e. lack of, or poor, road signs).

Sorry for the illiterate question. I didn't edit, as usual.
