Al Saaf Mosque

The city located in Birkat Al Mouz State, Al Dakhiliyah Governorate in the Sultanate of Oman.

In an area dotted with palm trees called Banana Pool in Nizwa Governorate in the Sultanate of Oman, this mosque was born with an area not exceeding 550 square metres, including the men's and women's chapel, ancillary services and the resident's house.

The project was organised on the qibla line, perpendicular to the two entrance gates to the outer courtyard of the mosque, which was wrapped around it with treated porticoes with interrupted walls that formed the two side porticoes of the courtyard of the mosque. while the minaret intercepted the visual line of entry and left through its base: ablution shops.

There are no domes or arches, but rather a simple geometric architecture with straight horizontal lintels. Palm fronds form the body of the minaret, the roof of the surrounding arcades and the upper mihrab area. The finishing materials are sustainable and very local: Light clay masonry + Nizwa stone.
