Istana Nurul Iman, located in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei, is the world’s largest residential palace and the home of the Sultan of Brunei, one of the world’s richest men. This vast complex encompasses 1,788 rooms, five swimming pools, and a garage that can accommodate 110 cars. The palace’s architecture seamlessly blends Malay and Islamic design elements, creating an impressive and intricate structure. Visitors can admire the grandeur of the building from its exterior, as the interior is not open to the public, but the sheer scale and architectural details offer a glimpse into the opulence within.
