An epitome of convenient housing

Projects like Sultan Haitham City have become a new normal as a foundation and component of a decent life that His Majesty desires to provide not just in Muscat, but across all the Omani cities

The ultimate goal of leadership in this cherished country will remain maintaining a decent life for its citizens, and the provision of convenient housing will be the backbone to achieve this goal.


Previously, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning, as well as other civil, military, and security authorities, attempted to issue housing allowances. Also, several government agencies have been striving to give interest-free housing grants, in addition to loans sponsored by the Oman Housing Bank, as well as land for diverse uses.


Today, however, we're witnessing the birth of another model to support the state's direction in this respect, Sultan Haitham City, themed "Treasure the Future.” It keeps pace with the necessities of modern living and its changing dwelling patterns. This is in accordance with the dreams of youths, who aspire to live in areas that provide decent and sophisticated lifestyle.


Sultan Haitham City blossoms like a sweet flower. The city aims to give a decent life for its residents in terms of its locations, components, and smart, modern, and high-level services. Furthermore, all services and facilities are constantly available to respond to remote control instructions from all directions, angles, and distances, demonstrating that the city is truly magnificent.


Such significant efforts indicate His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tariq's willingness to provide a decent living for the people, and this really is a satisfactory move. His Majesty always gives directives and orders until the project is completed in line with the most precise specifications.


It has been noticed that after His Majesty inaugurated the city, he urged officials to pay attention to this important aspect of human life. This was a heartfelt gesture with multiple meanings, coming from a loving father with a compassionate heart who loves his devoted citizens and works tirelessly to achieve their goals while providing them with means of comfort and psychological and family stability, so they can work, innovate, and flourish without boundaries.


With the inauguration of Sultan Haitham City, a city that can house up to 100,000 people, we are on the verge of a profound transformation in the way we live, with new dimensions, meanings, and implications for the concept of providing sufficient accommodation. Under this new paradigm, the issue of providing enough housing will no longer be limited to a housing grant, subsidised loan, or a plot of land. We now have a city that offers all modern amenities.


As a result, the equation for a decent life now has a new meaning and features that have always been on the agenda of a great nation like Oman in terms of geography, history, culture, and elegance. On the heels of education and health, these basic necessities have taken their appropriate place. Rather, they are the most significant necessity in the life of the Omani citizen who works hard to secure suitable home for himself and his family. These great efforts have led Oman to be ranked the second country in the world for private home ownership.


Omani youth no longer have to fantasise about integrated cities like Al Mouj, Muscat Hills, Muscat Bay, and other integrated complexes with the launch of Sultan Haitham City. Such complexes have become a new normal as a foundation and component of a decent life that His Majesty desires to provide not just in Muscat, but across all the Omani cities.


Of course, discussing this urban civilizational stride might be time-consuming, and our hurry prevents us from digging into the nature, foundations, components, and alphabets of a decent life that is practically embodied in this fantastic spot that has received extraordinary attention.


The enlightened leadership will continue to realize these ambitions until all of the people in our state enjoy a decent lifestyle based on the most recent models that mirror the future with all of its ramifications.


We hope that our efforts in this field will be rewarded with success, moving the revitalized renaissance wheel towards safety and prosperity. As His Majesty has mentioned, we hope that everyone works together to guarantee the success of these noble and creative endeavors.
