Intricate designs at Masjid Salem Bin Said Al Rawahi

Masjid Salem Bin Said Al Rawahi

There is a mosque which comes across as the prettiest place of worship we’ve encountered in town, located in Qurum, and opened in 2006. Masjid Salem Bin Said Al Rawahi is a concrete beauty that sports a rare colour palette that combines pink and peachy orange on the outside, and intricate designs on the inside. The place is graced with Islamic carvings, contemporary art, and a contrasting, flashy blue dome that makes it one of the best domes, visually.

Health Tips
Exercise Regularly

Some people tend to gain weight during the Holy Month due to changes in their daily routines and eating heavy meals at night. Instead of going all out with extreme exercises, opt for light toning techniques that work best for the situation at hand. Instead of lifting heavy weights, go for light weight and a tonne of repetitions. And if you enjoy intensive running sessions, then try an alternative, toned-down version that is sustainable. Either way, working out during Ramadan is absolutely fundamental.
