Superbly restored using traditional Omani materials, this beautiful ^19th-century fortified residence once belonged to the royal family. Impressive in size, it measures 40 meters long by 30 meters wide, with some fifteen rooms arranged around a vast inner courtyard and protected by crenellated ramparts. Multi-purpose (kitchen, reception rooms, bedrooms, etc.), the rooms are spread over two levels. In addition to being a museum, the residence regularly hosts cultural events.
