Muttrah is preparing to expand its tourism offering through the Muttrah Cable Car project, a planned 3-kilometre route connecting the waterfront with the mountain summit and Hay Al Ward Park. The system will feature 18 cabins, including two VIP cabins, with capacity for up to 800 passengers per hour. Three stationsโPort Station, Summit Station and Hay Al Ward Stationโwill connect visitors with Muttrah Souq, Muttrah Fort, Al Riyam Park and the Muscat Gate area. Planned attractions include panoramic viewing platforms, an open-air mountain amphitheatre, restaurants, cafรฉs, retail outlets, the โMiniature Omanโ experience and the technology-enabled โDigital Muttrah Houseโ. Beyond tourism, the project could create opportunities for local businesses, tour operators, artisans and SMEs while supporting Muttrahโs heritage and strengthening Muscatโs appeal as a cultural and waterfront destination. Operational testing is under way ahead of launch.
