About Muscat

Muscat is the capital of the Sultanate of Oman, located on the northeast coast of the country. It is the most densely populated city in the country, with various social, educational, medical institutions, and attractions. The area of the capital is almost 3500 sq. km. It includes six wilayats - separate provinces - Muttrah, Bawshar, Seeb, Al Amrat, Muscat, and Qurayyat.

The Hajar Mountains dominate the landscape of Muscat. The city is built on the shore of the Gulf of Oman and strategically located near the Strait of Hormuz. The capital of the Sultanate is literally built into the landscape and emphasizes all the wealth of the relief. Low white buildings are typical of most of Muscat's urban landscape. And the characteristic port area of Muttrah with its waterfront and harbor forms the northeastern outskirts of the city.

Among the important sectors for Muscat's economy are trade, oil, liquefied natural gas, and port logistics. The population of Muscat is over 1.5 million people, of which almost half are foreign citizens.

The city continues to actively develop, with real estate options to suit any taste, from apartments and studios to villas and townhouses. The capital is actively implementing the Oman Vision 2040 development program, aimed at ensuring economic, social, and environmental prosperity for Oman and its citizens over the next 20 years. As part of this strategy, the government aims to attract foreign investment by creating special ITC zones.

Yiti, located near Muscat, is one such project, covering over a million square meters, where real estate is available for purchase by foreigners. The area has everything necessary for comfortable living, leisure, and entertainment, including hotels, shops, bars, beaches, promenades, restaurants, yacht moorings, golf clubs, and water parks. In other cases, foreigners can only rent property for a certain period of time - 50 years. This can be extended for a period of up to 99 years.

Eagle Hills Muscat, a joint venture between Eagle Hills Abu Dhabi and Ezz International, is creating the first luxury residences in the capital of Oman, as well as the only five-star project in the region, The Residences at Mandarin Oriental.
