Al-Bustan, Oman

Al Bustān (Arabic: البستان) is a village in Muscat, in eastern Oman.

Its cemetery was used during the Samad Late Iron Age.

In 1991 the Ministry of National Heritage and Culture became aware of the cemetery, close to the Al-Bustan Palace.

In the same year a team from the German Mining Museum in Bochum excavated seven graves.
