The foundation stone has been laid for a RO 5.775 million tourism and commercial development on Masirah Island, marking a new investment in South Al Sharqiyah’s tourism infrastructure. Developed by United Real Estate Company, the project will cover approximately 60,000 square metres and bring together accommodation, shopping, leisure and visitor services. Plans include a 20-room tourist lodge, more than 40 villas and chalets, a traditional market, a multipurpose hall, pedestrian walkways, gardens and green spaces. Beyond expanding the island’s visitor offering, the development is expected to create marketing and business opportunities for local SMEs and home-based enterprises, helping connect tourism investment with community participation and local economic growth. By building on Masirah’s natural beauty and cultural heritage, the project supports destination diversification and Oman’s broader tourism development ambitions.
