Al Maamoura Palace (Arabic: قصر المعمورة العامر Qaṣr al-Maamoura al-Amer) is the Sultan of Oman's residence in Maʽmurah just outside of Salalah.[1] The palace is surrounded by extensive gardens with a falaj running through the grounds.[2]

History[edit]

During the Dhofar War, it was occupied by rebels for a short time and then housed an artillery battery.[3]

Razat Farm[edit]

Sultan Said bin Taimur began the farm adjacent to Al Maamoura Palace to figure out how to grow tropical and sub-tropical fruits in the Dhofar region.[4] It is now under the jurisdiction of the office of Royal Court Affairs. In March 2024, they announced that specialists at the farm cultivated a new type of banana plant called the Razat Banana that is a subspecies of the Williams Cavendish banana.[5]
