About Al Alam Palace
Al Alam Palace, which in Arabic means "Palace of the Flag", is the Sultan of Oman's ceremonial palace. Official events there include welcoming heads of state and foreign dignitaries. It stands in Muscat Governorate between two forts built by the Portuguese, Al-Mirani and Al-Jalali, at the northern end of an arcaded plaza 250 meters (820 ft) long that faces the National Museum of Oman.
An earlier palace, Bayt al-'Alam, went up in the early 1800s under Sultan Said bin Sultan, over the old sea wall's foundations. Tribal insurgents damaged it in 1895, and Sultan Faisal bin Turki left it unrepaired because funds were short. Sultan Said bin Taimur lived mostly in Salalah in the 20th century and had it locked up. The building was torn down in 1971 to clear the site for a new palace.
Sultan Qaboos bin Said commissioned the replacement, Qaṣr al-ʿAlam, for the same spot between the two forts. The Indian architectural firm Shapoorji Pallonji designed it in a flamboyant style, and work finished in 1972. The facade is fronted by gold and blue columns, and the palace can also be seen by boat from the harbor.

- Slender flagpole on the roof
- A thin flagpole with a small flag stands above the flat roof. Print friendly adapts it to the print scale, and printing slowly with cooling helps the tall thin part hold its shape.
- Columns, arches and a carved roofline
- Columns, arched windows and a patterned roof edge wrap the walls. A larger print size and layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep this detail crisp; Full detail keeps all of it.
- One piece with the ground
- Al Alam Palace is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
