⸻

📍[Location]
This ceremonial palace is located in the old city of Muscat, between the Mirani and Jalali forts, overlooking the harbor.

🕰️[History and Architecture]
• The current palace, which was originally built in the 1800s as the base, was rebuilt in 1972 at the request of Sultan Qaboos, and is a highly unique modern Islamic building with eye-catching blue and gold pillars.

• Tourists can only view the palace from the outside, and the interior is used when ceremonial guests visit.

✨Recommended points
• Striking blue x gold pillars: The exterior shines beautifully at night, making it worth a visit.
• With an old fort in the background: Together with the Mirani and Jalali forts on both sides, it gives a sense of the history of the old town .
• A place for royal ceremonies: Used as a place to welcome foreign heads of state and hold ceremonies, it symbolizes the dignity of the country.
• Waterside scenery and gardens: The wide square in front of the entrance and the well-maintained gardens are perfect for a stroll, and there are many photo spots.

🎒 Tips
• Viewing is only possible from the outside. We recommend dusk to night, when the lights shine brightly.
• Convenient access: It's smooth if you stop by after a stroll around Mutrah Corniche and the old town area.
• Clothing and manners: As this is a place that symbolizes the royal family, be quiet and take photos quietly in front of the gate.
• Strolling around the area: It's best to take a route that combines the adjacent old town and forts. There is also a parking lot nearby.
