  • Nice place, architecture is a bit weird to my eyes but part of its beauty is the simplicity and wide angle views. colours are vibrant and beautiful. green gardens are all around adding up to its beauty. a must see landmark if visiting Muscat.
  • Pleasant place. Calm and peaceful ambience. Old structures are preserved meticulously and jells well with modern architecture. Beautiful lawns with variety of flowers for a memorable photo shoot.
