Very nice atmosphere at out side of palace
The size of the place is impressive. If you are in the area, have a look but getting there just for this isn’t worth it. There is not much to see aside from walls and gates.
A very excellent place, it is called the Sultan's Palace, the fort, and next to it is an old popular market called the Haffa
