Qaboos Hall in China
Sultan Qaboos bin Said funded the construction of a prayer hall at the historic Qingjing Mosque in Quanzhou, China, using his personal funds. The project followed a 2006 report from Oman’s ambassador that the mosque needed additional space for prayer. His contribution amounted to $500,000. Construction began in 2007, and the hall opened on October 30, 2009, marking 1,000 years since the mosque was founded. It can accommodate more than 500 worshippers and was designed to preserve the remains of the old historic hall. Restoration work in 2025 included the prayer hall, and the mosque resumed welcoming visitors as usual in February 2026.
