Al Alam Royal Palace
The ceremonial palace of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos was built in 1972, just after his ascension to the throne in 1971. The iconic structure, with its vibrant gold and blue pillars, is right in center of Old Muscat, in the shadows of the 16th-century Portuguese forts Al Mirani and Al Jalali. Entrance is forbidden, but you can take photographs from the sprawling pedestrian boulevard out front.
Imperial Palace
The splendid palace has massive studded teak gates that protect the privacy of its imposing buildings, fountains, and gardens. Public entry is not permitted, but it's a sight to be seen, even if it’s just from the outside.
