Muscat’s Incredible Grand Mosque

On 8 Mar 20235 Mar 2023 By Andy RoamsIn Middle East, travel photography8 Comments

Sometimes photos say way more than words can. This is the Grand Mosque in Muscat - the Mosque of Sultan Qaboos, who passed away in 2020. It's probably the number one thing to see in Muscat. Hopefully the photos show you why! From the Main Road outside Ladies' Prayer Hall Main Prayer Hall Chandelier in …

Last Day in Karachi

On 27 Feb 202325 Feb 2023 By Andy RoamsIn travel photography4 Comments

Karachi never disappoints if your looking to take photos. So many colours, rich vibrant life, it's a great city for the photographer in my humble opinion at least. On my final proper day in Karachi I visited the New Memon Mosque where children were studying. Life is just brilliant! I also visited the tomb of …
