Come early or multiple times, because you need time to walk around the museum, palace & harem. It closes pretty early. The museum is PHENOMINAL! And the ticket is valid for 7 days!!! so go multiple times or spend the whole day once.

one person we met calls it the Dolce and Gabbana Palace.
one person we met calls it the Dolce and Gabbana Palace. I saw it many years ago, and it's super kitsch inside. Probably worth seeing how the sultans ruined their country's economy by pouring all wealth into a single palace, though, if you've never seen it before.

Full of wonders, gold, diamonds, marble, crystals etc.
Full of wonders, gold, diamonds, marble, crystals etc. A lot of money & sweat and blood were shed to have it built. Wonderful to see but gave me a sense of too much opulence in a city where 3 streets further it looks very poor and dirty.
