Oman has announced the Al Yazan Integrated Tourism Complex, a major waterfront development spanning 18.5 hectares at Sultan Qaboos Port in the Wilayat of Muttrah, featuring approximately 1,500 residential units alongside retail, leisure and community facilities.

The development is supervised by Oman Tourism Development Company (OMRAN Group) and VA Group.

Sayyid Bilarab bin Haitham Al Said, Minister of State and Governor of Muscat, presided over the project announcement, reported Oman News Agency.

Inspired by Muttrah’s architectural heritage and natural landscape, the project’s design combines the area's mountainous terrain with its coastal setting.

Its residential component covers 180,000 square metres and will be delivered in three phases, with buildings cascading down the mountainside towards the waterfront.

The development will also feature a 400-metre waterfront promenade and a pedestrianised street lined with shops, restaurants and cafes, providing 25,000 square metres of commercial space.

Green spaces will cover approximately 30,000 square metres, complementing a range of public and recreational amenities.

These include a crescent-shaped plaza with an open-air amphitheatre, fine-dining restaurants, multi-purpose sports courts and dedicated children's play areas.

Designed to serve residents and attract visitors, Al Yazan aims to create an integrated waterfront destination combining residential living, hospitality, retail and leisure facilities while reflecting Muttrah's distinctive identity.
