MUSCAT, MAY 10
Musstir, the real estate development arm of the Mohammed Al Barwani Group, has officially unveiled Musstir Heights, an exclusive residential destination set within the dramatic landscape of Al Jabal Al Akhdar, one of the highest and most distinguished locations in Oman and the wider Middle East.
With an investment value of approximately RO 300 million, the development forms a key component of the “Al Jabal Al Aali” masterplan, led by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning in Wilayat Al Jabal Al Akhdar.
The unveiling coincides with Musstir’s participation in the Oman Real Estate Expo & Conference 2026, taking place from May 10 to 13, bringing together leading investors, developers, government stakeholders, and global real estate experts to drive collaboration and unlock new investment horizons.
Musstir Heights embodies the Mohammed Al Barwani Group’s strategic commitment to Oman Vision 2040, aligning with national priorities to advance sustainable urban development, attract high-value investments, and position Oman as a world-class destination for lifestyle, investment, and tourism. This comes at a time of increasing international investor interest, supported by progressive foreign ownership regulations and a rapidly evolving real estate landscape.
Spanning over one million square meters, the development is meticulously designed as a sanctuary for refined living, where nature, culture, and contemporary design converge. Positioned at an elevation of approximately 2,400 meters above sea level, the project enjoys a uniquely temperate climate, with temperatures typically 15–20 degrees cooler than Muscat, offering an unparalleled living environment.
The masterplan features over 750 luxury villas, carefully curated to deliver an exceptional standard of living that blends architectural sophistication with sustainability and wellness-oriented design.
Musstir Heights will offer a fully integrated lifestyle experience, incorporating premium residences, a signature wellness retreat, a vibrant retail boulevard, and a curated dining promenade. Complementing this offering are thoughtfully designed wellness experiences and dedicated remote working spaces — enabling a seamless balance between living, working, and leisure in one cohesive destination.
Dr Mohammed Al Barwani, Chairman of the Group, stated: “Musstir Heights represents a defining milestone in our ambition to deliver globally benchmarked developments that seamlessly integrate sustainability with Oman’s authentic identity.”
He added: “We remain firmly committed to contributing to Oman Vision 2040 by driving economic diversification, attracting strategic investment, and enhancing quality of life. Our approach is centered on delivering future-forward developments that harmonize innovation with a deep respect for nature and heritage.”
Harith al Brashdi, CEO of Musstir, commented:“Musstir Heights introduces a new paradigm of elevated living in Oman, a fully immersive destination defined by tranquility, wellness, and a deep connection to the natural and cultural richness of the Sultanate.”
He continued: “Through developments of this calibre, we are positioning Musstir as a globally competitive developer, shaping distinctive destinations that redefine expectations in tourism and real estate, while delivering enduring value aligned with Oman’s long-term strategic vision.”
Al Brashdi added: “We extend our sincere appreciation to our partners at the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning for their continued collaboration and support in bringing this vision to life.”
The launch of Musstir Heights marks a significant inflection point in Musstir’s growth trajectory, further reinforcing its position as a leading developer of premium, sustainable destinations both within Oman and on the international stage.
The Mohammed Al Barwani Group operates across a diversified portfolio spanning more than 20 countries across the Middle East, Europe, Africa, South Asia, and Australia. Through Musstir, the Group continues to deliver transformative developments that contribute to economic growth and sustainable development across its markets.
