Salalah, royal palace

We figured this mosque on the palace grounds was for staff. It was beautiful, but nowhere near as grand as the minaret captured a few pictures back, which had to be for the private use of the sultan.

Also posted today from this small series on the royal palace, a bright gate, wide open:

Very neat and fine looking, the small domes are still amazing if a little smaller. V

Wouldn't mind having that on top of our house :-)
Don't think our neighbours would be too pleased though

I prefer these somewhat more modest structures
