Muscat 04 Grand Mosque 08 Decorated Arch  [8 of 24]


In Islam it is forbidden to create any pictures of living beings (except plants), which could be worshipped. Accordingly, it is very rare to find pictures in mosques at all. Instead, the interior is usually decorated with rich ornamental patterns and Arabic calligraphy.
