MUSCAT, MAY 6 - A number of hotels, hotel apartments, tourist resorts, camps and restaurant projects are coming up in various governorates of the Sultanate. The Ministry of Tourism has signed renewable long-term contracts for the use of tourism lands to meet the ever-growing demands in the sector. Mohammed bin Ahmad al Madhani is investing in the three-star hotel project at Madha in Musandam governorate. The hotel, which will come up at a cost of RO 3 million, will include 89 rooms, a restaurant, a coffee shop, a mini-playground and a multi-purpose hall.


Khalid al Wadahi from the Wilayat of Qurayat is an investor in an environmental resort project, which will come up with a cost of RO 16 million. It will be the first eco-tourism resort in the Sultanate. This project will include accommodation facilities in the natural environment.


The resort has been designed to include 80 hotel suites overlooking the waterfront perfectly integrated with the Omani architecture and environment.

It will cost RO 700,000 and includes 57 different types of luxury and classic family rooms, in addition to other facilities required by tourists such as a health club, horses stable, a place for camels, swimming pools, green grounds, a children’s playground, a place to practise archery and a hot air balloon ride.
