Hawiyat Najm Park project to boost tourism potential

MUSCAT: Muscat Municipality is continuing its efforts to develop the tourism and natural assets of Muscat Governorate through the Hawiyat Najm (Sink Hole) Park development project in the Wilayat of Qurayat. The project aims to create an integrated tourism and leisure destination that combines the site's natural and geological value with a variety of sports, recreational and tourism activities, offering an exceptional experience for visitors of different groups and interests.
Hawiyat Najm, with its unique natural landmark — the rock opening connected to the sea — forms the core of the project and the element from which the park derives its identity and distinctive character.
The development focuses on highlighting the beauty of this natural landmark and enhancing the visitor experience around it, while taking into account the site's geological and environmental characteristics and preserving the existing trees and natural components that give the place its distinctiveness.
The project includes a variety of facilities and activities designed to integrate with the nature of the site. These include a dedicated walking path for visitors and cycling tracks that allow them to enjoy the natural scenery and engage in outdoor activities. Dedicated camping areas equipped with the necessary services and facilities will also be added, providing an integrated experience that combines enjoyment of nature with comfort and privacy.
The project also includes sports courts for a variety of games, a children's play area that provides a suitable recreational environment for families, and cafés and service facilities that meet visitors' needs. SEE ALSO P5
