I visited Al Alam Palace in Muscat, It’s one of the oldest palaces in Oman and was known before the 1970s as Bait Al Alam. If you’re in Muscat, this is definitely a must-see spot. It’s close to Mutrah Souq and the Corniche, so you can easily make it part of a day out.

No entry for tourists but the main avenue is good to take a walking if you visited the National Museum of Oman nearby. The ministry of Finance is also in this area, along the avenue towards the palace there’s beautiful mosque and school inside the side buildings.

Unfortunately one can visit the palace only from outside. We can view it from both sides where one side of the palace faces the sea. It is an excellent location and a most visited place while doing a Muscat city tour.
