Garden and royal palace

A view of the inland side of the sultan’s palace. The complex was immense, but most of it can’t be seen from the outside, just some domes and such. In the distance at right is another former Portuguese fort, Al Jalali.

When the Omanis gained their independence from England, the sultan built his palace on the site of the former British Embassy (according to Lonely Planet).

Another view of the sea side of the palace:

Love the contrast of the vivid vegetation against the pale colours of the palace. V

A spectacular view, this is a massive place but so well seen in this fine image. V
