Muscat: The official opening of the Oman Adventures Center and the launch of the world’s longest zipline over water will be held on April 26 in the Musandam Governorate.
The Oman Tourism Development Company (Omran) recently announced the soft opening for the 1,800-metre dual zipline project in the Wilayat of Khasab.
The zipline project is the first activity offered by the Oman Adventure Centre, which is being developed as part of a comprehensive development plan for the region.
Through this plan, the Musandam Governorate will be able to diversify its tourism market by providing a wide variety of quality products and experiences. This will enable it to draw out its potential and highlight its position as a prominent tourist destination in the region.
The Oman Adventure Centre was designed to accommodate a broad range of facilities, providing visitors with an integrated tourism experience. It has a waiting area and more facilities.
The zipline project will be managed and operated by LEOS, a specialist operator that runs adventure and entertainment projects on a regional and international scale.
Said Hareb al Obaidani, Director General of Tourism Development at the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism, said: "The Ministry is working to stimulate development and investment in the various key tourist destinations in the Sultanate of Oman, especially the Governorate of Musandam." Currently in its soft opening phase, the zipline project serves as a quality benchmark for developing tourism products and enhanced tourism
experiences that we aspire to achieve.
In addition to the zipline project, "we are also developing several hiking and mountain biking trails in the Musandam Governorate, installing informational and guiding signboards that meet all required safety and security standards.
“Our project was completed in accordance with the highest standards and specifications, and all aspects of security and safety have been verified, along with conducting more than 2000 experiments prior to the opening. It has undergone extensive testing by specialized teams per the controls and requirements set by the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism to regulate the adventure tourism sector, and we are extremely pleased with its
completion.”
Guests wanting to experience the zipline are welcome to visit the Oman Adventure Centre from 9 am to 4 pm, during the weekdays including the weekends and official holidays.
