Real Estate for Sale in Oman

Oman is a maritime state. The Sultanate is surrounded on three sides by the Omani Gulf, the Arabian Sea, and the Persian Gulf. The northern and eastern borders are water - all major cities, including the capital and tourist centers, are located on the coast. But beyond the coastal plain, a completely different world opens up - 82% of the country's territory is occupied by deserts, mountain ranges, and river valleys.

About the Region

The Sultanate of Oman

The Sultanate of Oman is a country located in the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula. The country borders Yemen to the south, Saudi Arabia to the west, and the United Arab Emirates to the northwest. The capital of Oman is Muscat. The state has a good location and a pleasant climate. It is known for its rich culture and history, including its contributions to global trade and shipbuilding.

The government is taking measures to modernize and globalize the economy and tourism sector. There are historical monuments listed in UNESCO, natural attractions, wadis, and luxurious resorts on the coast, which attract tourists annually. The developed infrastructure, stable economy, and government programs aimed at attracting investments are interesting for expatriates and company employees. The average level of wages and infrastructure development here is significantly higher than in the CIS countries and some European states.

good location

Oman's infrastructure is quite developed, especially in the cities of Muscat, Salalah, and Sohar.

In large cities, highways, roads, and dirt roads connect all major settlements and tourist attractions. Oman's road network is approximately 60,000 km long.

Airports in Oman are located in almost all major cities - Muscat, Salalah, Kasab, Duqm, and others. The largest of them is the international airport in Muscat, which provides the main connection with cities around the world. Salalah and Sohar have their own international airports.

There are no passenger rail networks in Oman, but bus services are actively used on intercity and local routes, connecting all major cities. Oman's industrial railway network is relatively small, with a total length of about 500 km. It is mainly used for transporting goods, including oil, gas, and other resources produced in the country.

Ports of Oman, such as Sohar, Salalah, and Duqm, are considered important points for the transit of goods and cargo from different countries. Many tourist liners and private boats arrive in Muscat.

Oman has a developed healthcare system. The sultanate has 59 hospitals and 897 medical centers, dispensaries, and clinics. State and private medical institutions are open in all major cities, especially in Muscat and Salalah. These include the Royal Hospital, Abeer Hospital, Khoula Hospital, Health Center, Dhofar International Medical Center, and others.

Oman's educational infrastructure

Oman's educational infrastructure is also quite well developed: kindergartens, schools, colleges, and universities operate as both state and private institutions.

Most of these institutions are located in Muscat. Among them are Willowbrook Nursery Muscat, Horizon Kids International Nursery, Creative Initiative Montessori, Orange Tree Children's Nursery, The American International School of Muscat, ABA Oman International School, British School Muscat, The Sultan's School, Al Shomoukh International School, and others.

Currently, there are many universities open in the sultanate. The most famous, Sultan Qaboos University, has been operating since 1986. Among other popular institutions of higher education are Ibra College of Technology, Higher College of Technology, Dhofar University, Muscat University, German University of Technology, and others.

Economic Attractiveness

In 2020, the government of the Sultanate approved the Oman Vision 2040 development strategy. It is a complex of measures aimed at ensuring the economic, social, and environmental well-being of Oman and its citizens for the next 20 years.

As part of the program, the government intends to reduce the dependence of the economy on oil and gas, expand export markets, attract new investments, create new infrastructure, and develop technological industries, including attracting foreign talent.

The program includes a number of measures aimed at reducing the adverse impact on the environment, such as improving water and air quality, increasing the share of renewable energy sources, as well as protecting local ecosystems and biodiversity in the region.

A decision was made to attract residents. Since 2021, foreigners are allowed to buy property in full ownership on the territory of the Sultanate. Currently, projects in the ITC - Integrated Tourism Complexes are available for purchase. ITCs are zoned areas that allow foreign citizens to buy property with full ownership rights. The Sultanate of Oman has four such complexes. Among the most interesting are Yiti near Muscat and resort projects around the city of Salalah. Each of the ITCs is a huge area, covering millions of square meters. The territory has everything you need: general infrastructure in the form of hotels, shops, bars, restaurants, yacht moorings, golf clubs, and even water parks.

Under the Resident Attraction Program, it is possible to move to Oman with your family, work, open a bank account, apply for guest visas for relatives, and more. You can also purchase real estate for future rental, which will be in demand among tourists and professionals coming for contracts. You can be sure that your property will not lose its value in the future. The current economic situation and stable exchange rate of the local currency - the Omani rial - ensures investment protection.

To obtain a residency permit in Oman for yourself and your family members, you must purchase ready-made property. If the investment amount in real estate is OMR 250,000 (AED 2.4 million USD 650,000) or more, the owners receive permission for five years. If the cost of the residence exceeds OMR 500,000 (AED 4.7 million USD 1.3 million), a residency permit is issued for ten years.

The most interesting investment option is the second-largest city in the country, Salalah. This resort is popular among tourists all year round. Thanks to the mild climate and comfortable temperature, the region attracts guests: hotels and apartments are almost 100% occupied from May to September. European guests prefer to rest at the resort from October to April. During this period, hotel occupancy is at 70%. Residences in the resort mega-community are also in demand. Investors can profitably rent out their real estate to short-term tenants.
