Eastern Mountain Oasis project 50% completed in Al Hamra

Al Hamra: The completion rate of a project codenamed Eastern Mountain Oasis in the Wilayat of Al Hamra, Al Dakhiliyah Governorate, has reached approximately 50 percent. Spanning an area of nearly 10,000 square meters, the project features various tourism and service facilities, including a 300-square-metre investment restaurant, an outdoor theater, and 13 sitting gazebos, in addition to prayer rooms, pedestrian walkways, and open spaces.

The governorate is continuing urban development works in the Al Jabal Al Sharqi (Eastern Mountain) area of Al Hamra as part of its efforts to develop infrastructure and enhance service facilities.

These efforts aim to keep pace with the growing tourism movement, which reaches its peak during the summer season.

The mountain is considered one of the promising natural destinations in the governorate due to its environmental and geographical features that attract visitors and mountain tourism enthusiasts.

The increasing influx of tourists during peak seasons has reinforced the need to develop services and elevate the site’s readiness.

In a statement to Oman News Agency, Sheikh Sulaiman Said Al Azri, Wali of Al Hamra, emphasized that the project is being implemented in light of the growing tourism demand in the region and in response to the need for enhanced services. He noted that such projects contribute to raising the readiness of tourism sites and developing them to meet visitor requirements.

He added that the project provides an integrated environment that combines leisure and services while preserving the natural character of the site. It also contributes to improving the visitor experience and stimulating tourism and economic activity in the wilayat.

He further explained that efforts are ongoing to complete the service system at the site by introducing additional facilities, including toilets, directional signage, and designated camping sites, thereby enhancing the site’s readiness to receive visitors throughout the year.

These projects come within development plans aimed at enhancing the sustainability of tourism sites and creating an attractive environment for investment.

This contributes to diversifying economic activities in the wilayat and supports the objectives of Oman Vision 2040 in optimizing the use of natural resources and promoting balanced development.
