This palace was built in 1965. It is the current residence of Sultan of Pahang – Sultan Ahmad Shah. It is almost hidden amidst of lush green tropical trees. This picture was taken at the main gate. The palace is surrounded by peaceful and clean Malay kampung or village. For more pictures please refer to my Padang Polo travelogue.

The museum was declared opened by Sultan Haji Ahmad Syah in October 1976. It houses many artifacts important to the history of Pahang sultanate and Malay culture.
The fine 2-storeys brick building was build by the British in 1929, replacing an old wooden mansion, which was the residence of JP Rodger – the first British Resident of Pahang. In 1948, the Sultan of Pahang took over the building and renamed it Kota Beram Palace. In 1965, a new palace was build and the sultan moved to the new location, where the current palace is.
Closed on Monday.
Opens 9:30 – 5:00pm every day except on Friday, there is a Friday Prayer break between 12:15pm – 2:45pm.
Admission fee: RM 1
