With the name Noor-Us-Sabah literally means ‘the light of the dawn’ one would expect the best view of rising sun but interestingly it the best place for the sightseeing of sun setting over the waters of the Bhopal lake, that is the most stunning sight that one can see from this magnificent palace.

The Noor-Us-Sabah Palace, now considered Bhopal’s most prestigious destination, offer 70 rooms including some elegant suites, decorated with carved period furniture and soft furnishings to match. The Qamar Taj Suite is the just the place for a couple ideal for a honeymoon or an anniversary. There are few pleasures as satisfying as sitting on the suite terrace with a cup of tea or a drink and watching the setting Sun as it turns the waters into liquid gold.
