Take a tour of Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Oman -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

Expansive and ornate, Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque between Muscat and Seeb, Oman is a pristine masterpiece of classic architecture.

Following the tradition of Omani mosques the structure is elevated above the town.

The interior consists of cream and gray marble, along with colorful ceramic murals of Persian and Safavid design.

The dazzling structure, constructed of Indian sandstone weighing nearly 300,000 tons, consists of a focal prayer hall with central dome, a main minaret, and additional smaller minarets.

A great attraction of the mosque is the prayer hall's handmade Persian carpet, made of 1.7 million knots.

The mosque also hosts many Islamic style gardens through which the visitors can meander prior to entering the structure.
