This ceremonial palace of the ruler of our mystery country is located in the national capital, Muscat, located on the northern coast. When he came to power in 1970, the current ruler, Sultan Qaboos, introduced transformative economic and social programs. Today, the country is prosperous, politically stable .
The area around the palace is full of wide open spaces and the Al Jalali and Al Mirani forts situated on nearby cliffs. You can’t go inside the Al Alam Palace itself, which is said to be incredibly luxurious inside. The entire area, aside from a few construction workers, gardeners, and the occasional tourist was almost deserted. Muscat, and the rest of Oman in general, feels like a place you have all to yourself; there are often so few people around even the most popular spots in the country.
Oman is one of the most visually impressive places I’ve ever seen. In a week or two I’ll share more sights and sounds from the beaches, mountains, and people who live in the oldest independent Arab state.
