Muscat unknown graveyard

Identifying the location of the cemetary

Unknown old Arab  graveyard in Muscat Oman 1933. A pencil inscription on the back of the photo mentions it is in Muscat. It could be the Lughan quarters  cemetery in Muscat. However it it could also be one of the two mosques in Bandar Jissah, but we are not sure.
