Mibam Mosque
Location: Sur Province, Sharqiyah Governorate, Sultanate of Oman.
Type of style: Islamic.
In an elevated area, on the shoulder of a slope in the area of Mibam - Tiwi and on land with irregular boundaries and inclinations, this mosque was designed with an Omani character that belongs to its land and its architectural heritage, where no arches, domes, decorations and materials foreign to the place, but rather geometric blocks in harmony with the spontaneous rural fabric of the region with local clay colours, window details, shading areas and decorations that are associated with Omani ceramic work in the folklore and art of the place.
The building consists of the men's prayer hall, the outdoor Eid prayer hall, the outdoor seating areas for mosque visitors, as well as the ablution and service shops, the resident's house and the women's prayer hall, which took a third of the first floor to allow a view of the men's prayer hall, and a residence for tourists was attached to the adjacent shops as an accessory building to the architecture of the mosque. Each time the mosque buildings show the regularity and geometry arranged by the Qibla line and the elements of the mosque are organised around it.
