[AlAlamPalace | Muscat, "The royal ceremonial stage shining in blue and gold"]

[AlAlamPalace | Muscat "The royal ceremonial stage shining in blue and gold"] — The exterior with blue and gold pillars stands out, the ancient city's festive stage surrounded by a 16th century fort — ⸻ 📍[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. #Absolutely free trip #Oman #Muscat
