Bab Al Salam Mosque or Masjid Bab Al Salam is a mosque located in Muscat, Oman. Spread out over an area of 2,000 square meters, the mosque is blush-colored, alluding to the color of the nearby Hajar mountains. The complex comprises five parts— two prayer halls, two ablution spaces, and an open space. There is also a freestanding conical minaret. Instead of the traditional mihrab, a thin floor-to-ceiling window is present, marking the direction toward Mecca.
