Muttrah Cable Car trials, not there yet: Firm

 Muttrah Teleferik has clarified that the operational trials of the cable car project have not started, which will be announced soon.
With videos circulating about the cabins making rounds, the company said, 'That's what's happening now: progress is in the works, and the cabin shown in some video clips is the maintenance and construction cabin.
Sources told the Observer that some elements of the project have been completed, but the work is still underway.
The Muttrah Cable Car is a pioneering initiative aimed at enhancing the tourist experience in the capital city. Muttrah, known for its unique viewpoints and historic landmarks, will be transformed into a dynamic destination where visitors can enjoy a scenic cable car ride while overlooking the historic city from above.
The cable car system will feature three stations: the first located near the port and fish market; the second at the mountain summit behind Al Riyam Park, providing breathtaking 360-degree views of the coastline; and the third at Hay al Ward, also known as the Flower Park. Surrounding these stations will be a variety of amenities, including internationally recognized brand outlets, restaurants, family attractions, and dedicated spaces for small and medium-sized enterprises. Notably, the mountain top station will host an orchid center and a children’s roller coaster.
Designed and manufactured by Bartholet Maschinenbau of Switzerland, a global leader in ropeway systems, the cable car cabins were styled by Porsche Studio. The service will operate a fleet of 18 cabins, including two exclusive VIP cabins, covering routes connecting the Port, Mountain, and Flower Park stations.
