The largest in the capital of the Sultanate, Al Bustan Palace’s Majan Ballroom, with its size and grandeur, attracts a large number of Omani weddings and large-scale banquets. Hosting up to 2,000 guests for a standing reception or 750 for a banquet, the ballroom has a separate entrance on the first floor ensuring an impactful entrance for guests separate to the main atrium and lobby area.
