However yesterday I managed to drag myself away from the beach and see some manmade history and culture in Muscat.
There鈥檚 so much more to Muscat, souqs, more museums, shops etc, but this makes for a nice day of culture and history.
Now, I鈥檝e seen a few churches and temples in my time, this similarly respected place of worship is most definitely up there with the best of them.
The towers dominate the area, four at approx 40 ft high, one at 70ft, significant representing the 5 pillars of islam.
