Muscat is advancing investment in public amenities and nature-based tourism with the development of the Bandar Al Khairan Walkway, which has reached 30% completion and is targeted for completion in the second quarter of 2027. Implemented by Muscat Municipality, the 1.9-kilometre project is designed to improve access to one of Muscat’s distinctive coastal landscapes while expanding opportunities for outdoor recreation. Planned facilities include three viewing points, eight shaded seating areas, dedicated rest areas, a cycling track, landscaping and lighting designed to complement the surrounding environment. Because the project lies within a nature reserve, environmental considerations are being incorporated into its design and implementation to minimise potential impacts on the area’s natural features. Once completed, the walkway is expected to enhance the visitor experience, encourage healthier outdoor lifestyles and support tourism-related activity in Muscat Governorate. The project reflects the importance of balancing recreational infrastructure and destination development with the conservation of Oman’s natural heritage.
