Al Alam Palace

This is the waterfront side of the sultan’s palace, looking out on the Gulf of Oman. The weather that day was pretty dreary, but I thought it interesting that there are what look like anti-aircraft guns mounted on the seawall.

Very interesting. The guns are ominous.

Un palace très imposant dans un décor d'eau et de montagnes. Une splendide prise de vue du site! V

Interesting that there's very little greenery - but the stark setting is stunning. Oh ! to be a sultan ! v

Interesting indeed. If you hadn't said this was a palace, I'd have thought shore front condos! V
