Muscat Hills is a golf-course-anchored freehold community in Al Irfan, Muscat, built around Oman’s only 18-hole championship golf course and a resort-style masterplan of low-rise residential towers, retail space, and leisure facilities. As a designated Integrated Tourism Complex (ITC), it gives buyers of any nationality full freehold ownership and access to Oman’s Golden Residency programme.
What Is Muscat Hills?
Muscat Hills sits in Al Irfan, a fast-developing district a short drive from central Muscat, and is centred on the Muscat Hills Golf & Country Club — an 18-hole championship course and one of the only golf-integrated residential communities in the Sultanate. Developed as a mixed-use freehold masterplan, it combines residential towers, retail units, and leisure amenities around the fairways, with recent phases delivered by developers including Al Osool Group.
