A
Sultan's Palace
Originally built as a 19th-century defensive fort, the Sultan's Palace was converted into a residential palace by the Sultan Al-Katheri in the 1920s. The Sultan wasn't a subtle man and his house, containing a mere 90 rooms, towers over Sayun like an exaggerated wedding cake. It now houses one of the best museums in the country.

B
Museum of the Peoples' Customs & Traditions
The 3rd floor of the Sultan's Palace houses the Museum of the Peoples' Customs & Traditions which contains staid examples of traditional Hadramawt arts and crafts. Don't leave without a visit to the roof of the palace: there are great views across the town.

C
Al-Oryyan Restaurant
This clean and busy joint is by far the pick of the bunch and its English-language menu makes ordering easy. The crushed beans with egg is way better than it sounds!
