Beit al-Barakah, Royal palace in Seeb, Oman.
The palace features a modest architectural design with surrounding gardens, six residential villas, a majlis meeting hall, and a sports facility.
British architects Page and Broughton designed the palace in the 1970s, with additional structures added by J+A Philippou architects in 1987.
The name Beit al-Barakah translates to House of Blessing in Arabic, reflecting its status as the primary residence of the Sultan of Oman.
The palace maintains restricted access for invited guests only, though the adjacent Oman Mammal Breeding Center houses endangered species like Arabian leopards.
The palace complex includes a specialized research facility dedicated to preserving genetic material from endangered mammals native to the Arabian Peninsula.
