Welcome to Muscat

We spent the day in Muscat for our stop in Oman.  This is a completely modern and wealthy city.  We have been to several Mosques now over the years and like most of them this one was pretty spectacular.   Joy could not go in without putting on coverings, which were very hot in the weather.
