**The Sultan's Palace** is a colossal structure that serves as the home of ***Agrabah***'s Sultan, Princess Jasmine, and most recently Aladdin. The palace appears in all *Aladdin*-related media. The design is loosely based on the Taj Mahal, which is located in India.

## Background

The palace is located at the end of ***Agrabah***, and can be seen from anywhere in the town. The palace itself is surrounded by high walls, with a main gate granting entrance. A small area on the wall is outfitted for the Sultan to make speeches and announcements to the people.

The palace itself is mostly white in color, with golden domed roofs. There are multiple towers of varying sizes. Inside, there are various rooms that are used by the Sultan and his family. Outside, in the area between the walls and the building itself, is a large garden, as well as a fountain. At night, the palace is illuminated.

The palace serves as a major setting in all *Aladdin* films, as well as the TV series. In ***Aladdin***, Jasmine considers the palace to be something of a prison, as she at first tires of her life as a princess. Meanwhile, Aladdin dreams of living there. Later in the film, Jafar has the Genie move the palace to a nearby mountain overlooking the city (as he wanted to "*rule on high*"), though it is restored to its original location at the end of the film. In ***The Return of Jafar*** and the ***Aladdin*** series, it shows that Aladdin does not live in the palace, but he regularly visits it. In ***Aladdin and the King of Thieves***, a pavilion behind the palace serves as the site of Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding.

## Trivia

* The palace's gold and cream color scheme matches that of the Sultan.
* The throne room was designed to echo the Sultan's rounded shape. This is reflected in the elephant throne, egg-shaped columns, and rounded oil lamps. During Jafar's reign, the shapes within the room appear as sharp and angular to reflect Jafar's silhouette. For example, the Sultan's elephant throne was converted to a cobra.
* The palace can be seen in the background during ***Vanellope von Schweetz***'s visit to ***Oh My Disney*** in ***Ralph Breaks the Internet***.
* In the 2019 remake, the palace has a direct access to the sea allowing for private commercial tradings.
* In *The Return of Jafar*, during the last encounter with Jafar, he makes a large chunk of the Sultan's palace slide from a cliff and fall into the lava, in order to prevent Aladdin from gaining ***his lamp***.
