This Shiva temple is more than 100 years old and located in the heart of old muscat. Well maintained, once you enter the premises, the aura feels serene. Such places depict the religious tolerance and open mindedness of the ruler and the people of Oman. There are old photos of the temple present inside for people to have a look. Parking can be a challenge during the peak hours as there is limited space and the roads are narrow. To enter the temple one must follow the dress code, i.e. no short skirts and short pants, for women and men respectively.

If you are in Muscat or planning a trip then definitely you have to visit Shiva Temple,For sure you can experience the real divine source here.In weekend seems to be much crowded if possible have a visit in working days, Maha Shivaratri and Durga Puja are celebrated in great way. Amazing travel experience is for sure by crossing Muttrah Corniche, trekking spots and the beauty of Old Muscat is true bliss!!

Being a Hindu, I went on to explore this Shiva temple during my short visit to Muscat. It's not too far from Ruwi, the downtown of Muscat. But connectivity is too poor. U have to take an individual cab and ask him to wait till u come out of ur visit. It's a small but well maintained temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. The place is surrounded by a small hamlet dominated by local Muslims.

It is said the temple is very old, but visiting it doesn't feel that way. Looks like a small temple built recently-nothing super impressive. Photography not allowed inside. Requires 1 km walk from main road, if not serious this place can be skipped while visiting Muscat. But if you are devotee, need a place to pray or meditate then do visit.
