Oman has announced the Al Yazan Integrated Tourism Complex (ITC), a major mixed-use waterfront development at Port Sultan Qaboos in Muttrah, marking another milestone in the Sultanate’s urban development and tourism investment landscape.
The project was unveiled under the patronage of His Highness Sayyid Bilarab bin Haitham Al Said, Minister of State and Governor of Muscat, on 8 November 2026.
Supervised by Oman Tourism Development Company (OMRAN Group) and VA Group, the development will span 18.5 hectares and feature approximately 1,500 residential units, alongside commercial, recreational and community facilities.
Inspired by Muttrah’s distinctive coastal and mountainous landscape, the project incorporates architectural elements that reflect the area's heritage while introducing contemporary urban living.
The residential component will cover approximately 180,000 square metres, developed across three phases, with buildings arranged along the mountainside and extending towards the waterfront.
A key highlight is a waterfront promenade stretching more than 400 metres, complemented by a pedestrian-friendly retail and dining destination. The development will also include 25,000 square metres of commercial space and 30,000 square metres of landscaped green areas.
Additional amenities will feature a crescent-shaped public plaza, an open-air amphitheatre, restaurants, multi-purpose sports courts and dedicated children's recreational areas.
The project represents a significant addition to Muttrah's evolving waterfront, integrating residential, commercial and leisure spaces within a destination designed to serve both residents and visitors.
Al Yazan also reflects Oman's broader ambitions to attract private-sector investment, enhance urban infrastructure and develop integrated tourism destinations in line with Oman Vision 2040.
