Al Alam Palace

Al Alam Palace is located in Old Muscat, looking out to the Gulf of Oman. Visit at any time of the year. The building looks its best on a bright sunny day when the blue and gold columns stand out against the sky. Come back at night to see the palace dramatically lit. 

Other attractions close to Al Alam Palace include Al Zubair Museum, Al Bustan Palace, and the new buildings of the Council of Oman and the National Museum.

Drive along the Al Alam road west of the palace. From here you can get a closer look at the side of the building that faces the water and the two forts that stand either side. Street parking for a fee is also available here.
