Oman registers 4 historical landmarks in Arab Register
BEIRUT: The Sultanate of Oman, represented by the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism, has registered four historical landmarks in the Arab Register of Architectural and Urban Heritage. These include Al Hamoudah Mosque in the Wilayat of Jaalan Bani Bu Ali, the historic forts of Sohar and Nizwa, and Al Shawadhna Mosque in the ancient village of Al Aqr in the Wilayat of Nizwa. The registration took place during Oman's participation in the 10th meeting of the Observatory of Architectural and Urban Heritage in Arab States, held in the Lebanese Republic with the participation of several Arab countries. The Observatory of Architectural and Urban Heritage is one of the programmes affiliated with the Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (ALECSO). It focuses on documenting architectural and urban heritage in Arab states, promoting cooperation in preservation and conservation efforts, and facilitating the exchange of expertise. Additionally, it aims to establish joint policies to protect this heritage as a vital part of the Arab cultural identity. The inclusion of these four Omani landmarks reflects regional recognition of Oman's standing in heritage protection and conservation. It also highlights the country's ongoing efforts to showcase its architectural and historical features at both the Arab and international levels. Al Hamoudah Mosque, locally known as the 'Domes Mosque' in the Wilayat of Jaalan Bani Bu Ali in Al Sharqiyah South Governorate, is one of the oldest mosques in the governorate. It is distinguished by its traditional architectural style, which embodies the essence of Omani Islamic architecture. The registration of Sohar and Nizwa forts marks a significant addition. Sohar Fort, located in Al Batinah North Governorate, is one of the oldest coastal fortresses in Oman and had played a pivotal role as an administrative and political centre throughout different historical periods. Meanwhile, Nizwa Fort in Al Dakhiliyah Governorate stands as a prominent symbol of Omani defensive architecture. It served as a hub for knowledge and governance in various historical eras and remains one of the most notable cultural and tourist landmarks in the Wilayat of Nizwa today. Al Shawadhna Mosque, in the ancient village of Al Aqr in the Wilayat of Nizwa, is renowned for the beauty of its gypsum mihrab and the intricate details of its architecture, exemplifying the characteristics of traditional religious architecture in Oman. Preserving historical heritage is a fundamental pillar of sustainable development and the reinforcement of national identity. This authentic cultural legacy opens doors for cultural tourism and strengthens Oman's image as a destination that blends authenticity with modernity, enhancing its standing locally, regionally and globally. - ONA

Al Alya Mosque: A landmark embodies depth of Islamic heritage
A'RUSTAQ: Al Alya Mosque in the Wilayat of Al Rustaq, Al Batinah South Governorate, stands as one of the most prominent religious and historical landmarks in the Sultanate of Oman. It carries profound spiritual, intellectual and architectural significance, reflecting the depth of Islamic heritage that has characterised the region for centuries. The mosque dates back to the era of Imam Nasser bin Murshid al Yaarubi in the 17th century. Located in the heart of Al Alya Village, approximately 800 metres from Al Rustaq Fort, the mosque occupies a central position, serving residents for prayers and social gatherings. Built on elevated ground about six metres above the falaj (traditional irrigation channel), it is surrounded by diverse orchards — some of which are endowed as waqf (religious endowment), such as the Al Furudh orchard to the south and the Al Jahal orchard to the east, highlighting the mosque's economic and social importance in the community. Eng Ahmed bin Saif al Mazrouei, one of the caretakers of the mosque's endowment, explained that the mosque holds significant endowed assets, including 47 water shares in Falaj Al Maysar, valued at approximately RO 94,000, as well as orchards containing over 553 palm trees and agricultural plots, with an estimated total value of RO 166,000. In a statement, Al Mazrouei added that the mosque was historically used to distribute zakat (alms) and food supplies to eligible villagers during religious occasions such as Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha. It also served as a venue for weddings and funerals until recently, when these events were moved to Sablat Al Alya. The mosque dates back to the era of Imam Nasser bin Murshid al Yaarubi in the 17th century. — ONA The mosque was a gathering place for community leaders, locally called 'Ahl Al Hall wal Aqd,' to discuss village affairs and host visits by imams and governors. It was also a site for reconciliation meetings and judicial proceedings. A designated area within the mosque provided drinking water through traditional clay vessels (jihal), filled with water from Falaj Al Maysar and hung in their designated spots. Eng Al Mazrouei emphasised that the mosque was not merely a place of worship but also a distinguished centre of learning and social life. Several scholars and shaikhs studied there, underscoring its historical role as a leading educational and communal institution in Al Rustaq. The mosque measures 21 metres in length and 12 metres in width, featuring 10 columns that divide the prayer hall into six longitudinal and three transverse sections. A central courtyard (4 x 3.5 metres) was historically used for ablution and heating. A well beneath the mosque, likely connected to the falaj channel, may have served ablution purposes. The mihrab (prayer niche) is two metres wide and four metres high, adorned with simple yet elegant inscriptions bearing the Shahada (Islamic testimony of faith) on multiple levels. Recent restoration work expanded the mihrab, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. Originally, the mosque had three entrances — two on the eastern side and one on the northern side. However, after being designated for Friday prayers, a new southern entrance was added for the imam and people with disabilities, while the northern door was closed. — ONA

Al Alya Mosque: A testament to Oman's Islamic heritage
Rustaq – The Al Alya Mosque in Rustaq, South Batinah stands as one of Oman's most significant religious and historical landmarks. Built in the 17th century during the reign of Imam Nasser bin Murshid al Yarubi, the mosque reflects the depth of Islamic culture rooted in the region for centuries. Located in the heart of Al Alya village, 800m from Rustaq Fort, the mosque serves both spiritual and social roles for local residents. Constructed on elevated ground, roughly 6m above the level of the village falaj, it is surrounded by orchards – some of which are waqf endowments, including Al Furod to the south and Al Jahal to the east – highlighting the mosque's importance in community life. Ahmed bin Saif bin Khamis al Mazrouei, Administrator of the mosque's endowment, said the site's assets include 47 water shares in Al Maysar Falaj, valued at around RO94,000, besides orchards containing more than 550 date palms. The mosque also played a civic role. Until recently, it hosted weddings and funeral gatherings, which were later shifted to Sablat al Alya. It was a meeting place for local leaders to discuss village affairs, and served as a venue for reconciliation and adjudication sessions, often attended by imams and governors. Drinking water was made available to worshippers and visitors in earthenware vessels – jahal – filled from the falaj and suspended at designated spots. Mazrouei noted the mosque's wider role as an academic centre. Renowned scholars and sheikhs once studied there, including Sheikh Suleiman bin Abdullah al Luwaihi, reflecting its historical role in religious education and community leadership. Ahmed bin Saif bin Khamis al Mazrouei The mosque is built on a rectangular plan, measuring 21m by 12m. The mihrab stands out for its proportions and understated inscriptions. Two metres wide and four metres high, it bears layered carvings of declarations of the Islamic faith. Enlarged in recent renovations, it now has an enhanced visual impact. The mosque originally had three doors – two to the east and one to the north. A fourth door was added on the southern side to facilitate access for Friday sermons and for people with disabilities, while the northern door was sealed. A traditional staircase, made of al alan wood, has remained intact since the mosque's construction. The mosque complex also includes a 15mX12m building once used as a dormitory for students and as a storage area. Centuries after it was built, Al Alya Mosque continues to embody the spiritual, academic and civic life of Rustaq, preserving its architectural and cultural relevance in modern Oman.
