A directory of real estate developers in Oman: what it is and how to use it

This page is the overview layer of our directory of real estate developers in Oman. Above it sit 26 developer cards, and each card opens a long, sourced profile of one company: Muriya, Dar Global, OMRAN Group, Muscat Bay, Eagle Hills Muscat, Al Mouj Muscat, Diamond Developers, Talaat Moustafa Group, Alargan Towell, Mira Developments, Al Ahly Sabbour, Zen Development, Al Nama Real Estate, Al Osool, Dream Villa, Barr Al Jissah, Zain Property Development, Wujha Development, Al Zaid Development, Sarooj Development, Al Abrar Real Estate, Adante Realty, Maysan Properties, Sohar Real Estate Development, Dar Arabia and Rozal Development. A profile sets out who owns the company, what it has completed, what it is building, which projects we list and what the homes on our listing pages cost. The text you are reading does a different job. It compares the 26 side by side and explains the words buyers meet: master developer, sub-developer, brand licensor, “OMRAN-backed” and the Surooh programme.

The 26 profiles are linked to 50 distinct listing pages on our site. They describe state-backed groups, regional and international companies, Omani family groups, hotel and resort developers, master developers and plot developers, and several of them are partners, shareholders or neighbours of one another, which is why a side-by-side comparison of these real estate developers in Oman is useful. For the wider picture of how master developers, plot developers and sellers fit together, read our guide to Oman property developers. This hub does not repeat that guide. It adds the directory, the comparison and a description of how we prepare the profiles.

Prices come from our own listing pages and are converted at the fixed rial peg of OMR 1 = USD 2.6008. Everything about a company comes from the sources named in its profile, and every profile ends with the date it was last checked. This hub was last checked on 10 October 2026.

A sensible way to use the directory:

1. Start with the comparison table below to see who owns each developer, where it builds and what stage its Oman projects are at.
2. Read the projects-by-stage section to see which homes are completed and which are off-plan with a handover target stated by the developer.
3. Note which company signs the sale contract. For several projects it is a project company or a partner, as the master developers section explains.
4. Open the profile of any developer that interests you, and read the section on what to prepare when reserving before you pay a deposit.
5. Cross-check any date against our handover calendar and any payment schedule against our payment plans guide.

The profiles also follow the map of the country. Many of the 26 build in Muscat Governorate, in communities that include Al Mouj, Yiti, Bandar Jissah and Barr Al Jissah on the coast, Telal Al Qurm in central Muscat, where Rozal Development sells Alef Qurum Residence, Muscat Hills, where Dar Arabia sells Dar Muscat Hills, and Knowledge Oasis Muscat in the west of the capital area, and Sultan Haitham City in Al Seeb. Muriya, Mira Developments and Al Zaid Development build in Dhofar, Maysan Properties builds in the Special Economic Zone at Duqm, Sohar Real Estate Development builds in Sohar on the Batinah coast, and Zain Property Development builds in Bidbid and Sur. Each profile gives the location of the projects we list, the drive times published on the listing page and the stage of construction.

The map of real estate developers in Oman at a glance

Three points frame the table. One: the 26 real estate developers in Oman are at different stages. Muriya, Muscat Bay, Al Mouj Muscat, Barr Al Jissah (resort villa and townhome collections), Maysan Properties (Residence One) and Eagle Hills Muscat have completed homes on the evidence of their profiles, while the other projects are off-plan with handover targets stated by each developer. Two: the company on the brochure and the company on the contract can be different, a point the master developers section takes further. Three: the state developer OMRAN appears as shareholder or partner in five rows (Muriya, Dar Global, Muscat Bay, Al Mouj Muscat and Diamond Developers) and has a profile of its own because the words “OMRAN-backed” describe a different role in each one.

The table also shows how the field is arranged by place. Sultan Haitham City in Al Seeb is the setting for Al Ahly Sabbour, Dream Villa, Sarooj Development, Al Abrar Real Estate, Adante Realty and Talaat Moustafa Group’s Jood, each with its own neighbourhood and price list. Muscat Hills is the setting for Al Nama Real Estate, Al Osool and Dar Arabia, and Muscat Bay is the community in which Zen Development sells Zen Residences next to the Muscat Bay company’s own homes. Wujha Development builds in Knowledge Oasis Muscat, Barr Al Jissah is a resort community of its own, and the profiles of Zain Property Development, Sohar Real Estate Development and Al Nama Real Estate describe homes delivered under the Surooh programme of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning.

Projects by stage: completed and off-plan homes from real estate developers in Oman

Homes in Oman fall into three kinds of purchase. A completed home can be visited, measured and compared with its neighbours. An off-plan home is a contract for a building under construction, with payments handled through the project escrow account described below. A resale is a completed home sold by an owner, which is what many “last units” on a nearly sold-out scheme turn out to be. The table sets out the completed work and current stage reported for each of the 26 real estate developers in Oman.

Muriya, Muscat Bay, Al Mouj Muscat and Barr Al Jissah have communities that can be visited, and Eagle Hills Muscat has a completed hotel and residences described as finished by the sales channel. Maysan Properties reports a handed-over apartment building in Duqm and a townhouse community in Muscat Hills with residents in occupation. Al Osool lists The Pearl with a year built of 2025. Dar Global, Diamond Developers, Talaat Moustafa Group, Mira, Al Ahly Sabbour, Zen Development, Al Nama Real Estate, Dream Villa, Wujha Development, Sarooj Development, Al Abrar Real Estate, Adante Realty, Zain Property Development, Al Zaid Development, Sohar Real Estate Development, Dar Arabia and Rozal Development offer off-plan or under-construction homes in Oman, with handover targets stated by each developer. The profiles of Dar Global, Diamond Developers, Talaat Moustafa Group and Al Ahly Sabbour describe completed work in other countries, and the profiles of Wujha Development, Zain Property Development and Al Abrar Real Estate describe earlier buildings in Muscat, Sohar and Salalah. An off-plan purchase rests on the contract, the project escrow account and the stated handover date. The Eagle Hills Muscat profile notes that our handover calendar counts five finished freehold-for-foreigners projects in Oman at this date.

A note on resales. Where a scheme’s pages say stock is nearly sold out, a purchase today may be a resale. The Muriya profile counts three to five units on the broker sheet for some schemes, and the Muscat Bay profile counts 15 completed homes left across seven neighbourhoods. Our listing for Zen Residences shows 13 of 80 homes available, the Al Mina listing at Barr Al Jissah shows 41 of 76, and the Al Ahlam District listing shows 23 of 47 villas. A resale of a finished home can be inspected before purchase and is transacted with the owner rather than under the developer’s contract. Our guide to selling property in Oman explains the transfer steps from the seller’s side.

State-backed, regional and international real estate developers in Oman, and what OMRAN’s stake means

The 26 developers come from several directions. Some are state vehicles or have state shareholders: OMRAN itself, and Al Mouj Muscat, where OMRAN holds 40% and Tanmia, described as state-owned, 10%. Others are regional: Dar Global’s parent is Saudi, Majid Al Futtaim is Emirati, Eagle Hills is based in Abu Dhabi, Alargan International is Kuwaiti and the Saudi group Al Muhaidib sits behind part of the Talaat Moustafa Group land bank. Talaat Moustafa Group and Al Ahly Sabbour are Egyptian developers, and the Al Ahly Sabbour profile records a partnership with the National Bank of Egypt dating from 1988. Diamond Developers and Mira are Dubai companies. Muriya’s private shareholder is a Swiss-registered holding company. For anyone comparing real estate developers in Oman, each profile identifies the entity that owns the land and signs the sale contract.

A large group of the profiled companies are Omani. Zen Development, Al Nama Real Estate, Dream Villa, Wujha Development, Maysan Properties and Sohar Real Estate Development are Omani companies with offices in Muscat or Sohar, and the profiles give their founding years as 2010 (Dream Villa), 2014 (Wujha Development), 2018 (Maysan Properties), 2019 (Sohar Real Estate Development) and 2002 (Al Nama Real Estate). Dar Arabia is a Muscat developer with its office in Al Khuwair, and its website describes it as a family-oriented company with more than 45 years of experience in the sector; it is a different company from Dar Global, whose profile covers AIDA. Rozal Development is a Muscat construction and property development company, and its website gives 2006 as the year it began working. Zain Property Development describes itself as a family-owned business established in 2008, and the Sarooj group describes itself as family-run with a history that dates from 1976. Al Abrar Real Estate is a subsidiary of Al Siyabi International Group, Adante Realty is the real estate arm of Al Adrak Group, which describes itself as 100% Omani-owned, and Al Osool Group dates from 2006, with Al Osool Properties described by the Oman Observer as part of MJS Group of Companies. Al Zaid Development is part of Al Zaid Group in Salalah, whose website lists branches in Kuwait, Lebanon, the Czech Republic, Poland, Turkey and Australia. Barr Al Jissah is developed by the Zubair Corporation, an Omani family group founded in 1967, and is a hotel and resort developer as well as a residential one: its three hotels have been managed by Hilton since 1 January 2026.

OMRAN is a case where the name on the brochure and the contracting company are different. The OMRAN profile defines the state developer, described as an Oman Investment Authority subsidiary since the January 2021 asset transfer, as a company set up in 2005 that rarely sells apartments itself. It assembles a site, brings in an investor or an operator, takes a stake or a fee, and lets the partner build and sell. In the four projects we list in which it features, it is a partner or shareholder in each. The table below follows the OMRAN profile.

From this the profile draws three categories, and the profiles use them throughout this directory. OMRAN can be a shareholder in the seller (Muriya, Al Mouj Muscat), where the company that signs your contract is an ordinary commercial developer with a state minority holder. It can be a joint-venture partner (Muscat Bay, The Sustainable City – Yiti), where the joint-venture company is the seller and the private partner leads on design and delivery. Or it can be a master-plan partner (AIDA), where a separate listed developer controls construction and sales. The Ministry of Heritage and Tourism signed the Yiti-Yenkit development agreement of 11 square kilometres with OMRAN, according to the Oman Observer.

The state link has a specific meaning. A state shareholder or partner reflects how land and tourism permissions were arranged, and the contract you sign is with the project company named in each profile. The Muriya profile describes the 30% OMRAN stake as a commercial shareholding with a board seat. Buyer protection comes from the licence and the project escrow account that Royal Decree 79/2025 requires, which our guide to the law for off-plan buyers explains, and from the sale and purchase agreement itself.

A second state relationship runs through the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning. The Ministry is the master developer of Sultan Haitham City and signs development and partnership agreements with private companies; the profiles of Al Ahly Sabbour, Dream Villa, Sarooj Development, Al Abrar Real Estate and Adante Realty each describe such an agreement for a neighbourhood or a plot. The Ministry also runs the Surooh programme, which the Zain Property Development, Sohar Real Estate Development and Al Nama Real Estate profiles describe as a public-private programme for integrated residential neighbourhoods. In Duqm, Maysan Properties builds under a usufruct agreement with the Special Economic Zone Authority, and its profile cites Royal Decree 38/2025 on special economic zones. In each case the contract you sign is with the developer named in the profile.

Several parents publish group results. Dar Global is listed in London and, for the year to 31 December 2025, reported a net profit of $100.8 million. Talaat Moustafa Group reported net cash of EGP 62.1 billion at the end of 2025. Forbes Middle East reports revenue of more than $590 million in 2025 for Al Ahly Sabbour, and the Sarooj group states a portfolio of more than $1.3 billion. Muriya’s owner publishes group-wide results, and Eagle Hills and Mira are privately held. These figures describe the parent groups, while the seller named on your contract is the project company that each profile identifies. The OMRAN Group profile and the Dar Global profile work through the detail for two examples, and the Al Ahly Sabbour profile does the same for an Egyptian developer building in Sultan Haitham City.

Master developers, sub-developers and brand licensors among real estate developers in Oman

Three roles are often blurred on a listing page, and the profiles use them in a fixed way. A developer builds the building, signs the sale and purchase agreement and is responsible for handover. A master developer provides the land context, the infrastructure and the community rules, and may or may not build anything itself. A sub-developer is a company that a master developer appoints, or lets in, to build one scheme on a plot inside the community. A brand licensor lends a name, a design signature or a management service, and is usually not the party that delivers the building. The table maps the projects in the 26 profiles onto those roles.

Al Mouj Muscat shows why the roles matter. According to its profile, it is both a place and the master developer for other developers’ work. It built and sold many homes itself, and it appointed Aurelian as sub-developer for ALMAR in May 2026, while four of the five projects we list inside the community are built by other companies. A shareholder in the master developer is not automatically a shareholder in a sub-developer’s building, and the contracting party for each project is the developer named in the table above. Read the Al Mouj Muscat profile to see which company builds and sells each project inside the community.

The same distinction applies next door at Muscat Bay. The Muscat Bay profile separates the two projects by the Muscat Bay company (the completed villas and apartments, and Luma Residence) from Zen Residences, sold inside the community by Zen Development and Investment, and from Al Mina, which belongs to the neighbouring Barr Al Jissah resort. A buyer at Zen shares the address, the gate and the beach access of Muscat Bay; the contract, the warranty and the escrow account are with Zen Development. The Zen Development profile notes that Al Adrak Trading and Contracting is the main contractor, appointed in May 2024. See the Muscat Bay profile and the Zen Development profile for the detail, and the Barr Al Jissah profile for the resort next door, where Al Mina has six low-rise buildings, a marina with 55 berths and 76 homes.

Sultan Haitham City works differently from a single-developer community. The Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning acts as master developer for the whole city and allocates neighbourhoods to private developers by agreement. The profiles describe Al Ahly Sabbour at Wadi Zaha, Dream Villa at Neighbourhood 6B, Sarooj Development at Sarooj Oasis, Al Abrar Real Estate at Hay Al Wafa, Adante Realty at Yenaier Residences and Talaat Moustafa Group at Jood. Each neighbourhood has its own developer, price list, payment plan and handover target, so a buyer comparing two neighbourhoods is comparing two companies as well as two sets of homes. Muscat Hills and Knowledge Oasis Muscat follow the same pattern on a smaller scale: Al Nama Real Estate, Al Osool and Dar Arabia sell separate buildings in Muscat Hills, and Wujha Development sells a residential community and an office building inside the technology park.

Brand licences are a separate role, and AIDA, the Mandarin Oriental residences, Al Mina and Yenaier show the pattern. The Dar Global profile cites the developer’s own legal notice that Trump International Oman is not owned, developed or sold by The Trump Organization and that the name is used under a licence. The Marriott Residences release carries a similar notice. Fendi Casa is described as the interiors partner for the Azure villas. At Mandarin Oriental, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group manages the hotel and the branded residences, and Eagle Hills Muscat is the developer. At Barr Al Jissah, Hilton manages the three hotels and offers residents a 25% discount, according to the listing. At Yenaier, SOCIO by The Lux Collective is a branded component of 389 units: 170 hotel keys, 123 branded serviced apartments and 96 branded non-serviced apartments, according to the joint release. In each case the brand owner, the operator and the developer are different parties, and the sale and purchase agreement is with the developer. Branded schemes typically involve a licence to use the name, a management agreement, brand fees within the service charge and access to the brand’s rental channels, and the sales documents set out which of these apply. The Eagle Hills Muscat profile, the Dar Global profile and the Adante Realty profile describe the arrangements.

Mira Ocean Estates sits inside the Hawana Salalah destination that Muriya masters. Mira Developments is the developer of the project, and its profile describes Mira as a plot developer inside the destination. Foreign freehold applies inside an approved Integrated Tourism Complex, so the ITC approval is one of the documents a buyer receives for the plot. See the Mira Developments profile for the detail.

Two further settings have their own frameworks. At Duqm, land for real estate development is allocated by usufruct, and the Maysan Properties profile records that Maysan apartments are offered on a 99-year leasehold, with Maysan Properties and SEZAD anticipating a future conversion to freehold. On the Taqah coast, the Al Zaid Development profile records that the brochure for The Sea Front Residences states 99 years leasehold renewable for life. For the Surooh communities of Zain Property Development, Sohar Real Estate Development and Al Nama Real Estate, eligibility is set by the programme rules, which each developer confirms in writing before a reservation. The tenure of every project is stated in its own profile and in the reservation documents.

Published payment plans across real estate developers in Oman

Payment plans differ between these developers. The table shows the structures as they appear on our listing pages and in the developers’ own materials, with the share of the price paid before handover where the pages allow it.

Plans differ in when payments fall due. At The Sustainable City – Yiti 70% falls due on handover, and at Luma and Mira Ocean Estates half the price is due on completion; the Mira profile suggests that buyers who plan to borrow obtain an Omani bank’s written view on lending against the unit in advance. On Olive Farms the instalments are complete before handover, and on the Talaat Moustafa Group 4.5-year plan 95% is paid before the final 5%. Several plans are tied to construction events instead of dates: Opal Residences lists 10 payments linked to milestones from excavation to completion, and ALMAR Residences lists milestone payments at construction stages. Others follow the calendar, such as the seven dated instalments at Zen Residences and the schedule at Golf Hills that runs at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. A third group lets the buyer choose: Sarooj Oasis Villas offers four down-payment tiers, Dream Villa offers two stages, Al Abrar Real Estate allows monthly, semi-annual or annual instalments, and Adante Realty lists four plans for Yenaier Residences. Longer plans reach five years at Uptown Muscat, seven years at Plumeria and 10 years on one Yenaier plan. At Dar Muscat Hills the schedule is provided by Dar Arabia with the reservation documents. At Alef Qurum Residence the plan is a booking fee, 20% down and ten quarterly instalments of 6.5%, with 15% on completion. Our payment plans guide compares the full range across the market.

Buyers’ payments for off-plan homes are protected through escrow, and the law changed recently. Royal Decree 79/2025 repealed the earlier escrow system and, according to the Mira Developments profile, requires a Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning licence before off-plan development or sale, a separate escrow account for each project with withdrawals tied to approved construction phases, financial guarantees to secure completion, registration of off-plan units and an owners’ association for each project. The decree text on decree.om says it takes effect 180 days after publication in the Official Gazette of 14 September 2025, which is mid-March 2026, while our guide and a law-firm summary give 10 March 2026. Escrow keeps instalments dedicated to the construction of the project. Read the Law 79/2025 guide for the content.

The profiles also record construction and financing milestones. AIDA’s phase-one infrastructure contract was awarded to Oman Shapoorji for OMR 9,345,653 in June 2024. The Sustainable City – Yiti secured an OMR 38.5 million ($100 million) Islamic green facility from the IFC, announced on 30 September 2026; its latest public progress figures (plaza 31%, villas 33%) are from December 2024. On 8 October 2026 the Oman Observer reported a RO 11.285 million package for 160 villas in Jood, with contract signing expected on 5 November 2026. Al Ahly Sabbour announced an OMR 10 million financing agreement with Bank Dhofar during Urban October 2026, and Wadi Zaha reported about 350 homes under construction. Al Mina at Barr Al Jissah was about 65% complete on 5 January 2026, and Maysan Square was inaugurated on 8 June 2026 with 104 residential and 130 commercial units in the initial phase.

Bank arrangements are part of several profiles. Dream Villa announced a financing agreement with Alizz Islamic Bank for Al Ahlam District in May 2026. Zain Property Development has an Alizz Islamic Bank agreement from May 2021 for its other communities, and NBO Muzn Islamic Banking signed memoranda for Husn Al Zain. NBO Muzn Islamic Banking and Sarooj Development Company signed a memorandum on 8 July 2025 for financing at Sarooj Oasis. For Hay Al Wafa, the Ministry, Al Abrar and Oman Housing Bank signed a tripartite agreement on 30 May 2024. Each bank sets its own rate, tenor and eligibility rules, which a buyer confirms with the bank directly.

Running costs complete the picture. The profiles record these published charges: OMR 8.27 per square metre per year for Luma apartments, OMR 4.5 at Telal Al Qurm and OMR 5 at Alef Qurum Residence, from OMR 10 at Bellevue, 19.5 at Vistal, about $70 per square metre for a two-bedroom at the St. Regis, OMR 3.25 at the Mandarin Oriental residences and OMR 9 at The Great Escape. The newer profiles add OMR 5 to 6 per square metre per year at Wadi Zaha, OMR 6.5 at Opal Residences and at Golf Hills, OMR 8 at Al Mina, OMR 3 to 4 for studios at Yenaier Residences, a flat OMR 300 a year per unit at The Sea Front Residences and OMR 300 to 500 a year at Hay Al Wafa. Service charges are quoted in rials per square metre per year unless a profile states a flat amount; read our service charges guide before you compare two projects.

Starting prices of listed homes at each developer

Entry prices refer to the unit at the starting price for each developer, and areas are measured on different bases, so per-square-foot figures should be compared within one project’s own lists. Our price per square metre guide gives market context. Several starting prices date from earlier launch lists; for example, the Muriya headline of OMR 50,000 dates from 2024, and the Al Zaid Development price list for Taqah Long Beach Boutique is dated 25 August 2026. Studio, one-bedroom and loft prices at Zen Residences are given on enquiry, and Wujha Development quotes Central 7 per unit. The Dar Muscat Hills price list comes from Dar Arabia and sets out the unit code, flat area and price of each unit. Check the listing page for current availability.

Golden Residency and the Owner Visa across the 26 developers

Residency is a frequent question for buyers, and the profiles apply the same rule to every developer. Golden Residency requires a single Integrated Tourism Complex property worth at least OMR 200,000 (about $520,160) and is decided by the Royal Oman Police. Our guide says the programme was relaunched through the Invest Oman platform on 31 August 2025 with that single threshold. The Owner Visa has no minimum property value and is sponsor-free. Our Golden Residency versus Owner Visa guide sets out the rules and the current process, and the freehold guide explains the ITC regime on which both routes depend.

These are readings of listed prices against the threshold. The Royal Oman Police decides each application, and the price that counts is the one on the contract. Buyers confirm which price is registered, whether a discount or fees change it, and whether the unit’s plot is inside an approved ITC. The profiles of Maysan Properties, Zain Property Development, Sohar Real Estate Development and Al Zaid Development state the title form and the programme or lease terms that apply to their homes, and the Dar Arabia profile notes that the title category for Dar Muscat Hills is provided with the reservation documents. The Owner Visa is described on our listings as covered by Royal Oman Police Decision 87/2026, and its terms are set by the police, so confirm them at the time of purchase.

What to prepare when reserving a home from real estate developers in Oman

Reserving a home follows the same steps with every developer. The documents a buyer normally receives and keeps are the reservation form, the sale and purchase agreement (SPA), the payment schedule, the details of the project escrow account and the handover schedule. For an off-plan purchase the escrow details normally name the bank, the account name and the licence number issued under Royal Decree 79/2025, and the SPA states the handover date.

• The reservation form and the reservation fee receipt, which show the unit, the price and the legal name of the seller.
• The sale and purchase agreement, which sets out the payment schedule and the handover date.
• The escrow account details and the project licence for an off-plan purchase.
• The ITC approval and the form of title, because foreign freehold applies inside an approved Integrated Tourism Complex.
• For residency, the price registered in the contract, checked against the OMR 200,000 single-property rule for Golden Residency or the terms of the Owner Visa.

Some projects add a document of their own. In Sultan Haitham City the reservation pack names the neighbourhood, the stage of the villa or building and the escrow bank. In the Surooh communities of Zain Property Development, Sohar Real Estate Development and Al Nama Real Estate, the developer confirms in writing that the buyer is eligible under the programme rules before any money changes hands. In Duqm and on the Taqah coast the title document states the lease term and any renewal or conversion terms, and at Maysan the registration fee and VAT position are quoted in writing. Where a payment plan is dated, as at Zen Residences, or tiered, as at Sarooj Oasis Villas, the reservation form records which date set or which tier the buyer has chosen.

Buyers also keep a copy of the listing page, its date and the unit number, since prices, areas and handover targets on listing pages can change. Our handover calendar, our payment plans guide and the profile of the developer concerned give the context for each document. If you would like help preparing a reservation, ask us about an Oman developer.

How we prepare the profiles of real estate developers in Oman

Every profile follows the same method. We read the developer’s own site and releases, the Omani and regional press, company filings and results where they exist, the text of the relevant Omani laws and decrees, and our own listing pages, which are the authority for prices on this site. Each fact is attributed (“according to Muriya”, “per the Oman Observer”) so that a developer’s statement is presented as the developer’s statement, and each profile gives its sources and the date it was last checked.

Figures are given with the name of their source, and a developer’s own statements are marked “according to” or “stated”. We also keep the date: every profile and this hub carry a “last checked” line, and prices, areas and handover targets on the listing pages can change, so confirm anything important with the developer in writing. The 16 newer profiles use the same structure as the original ten: a table at a glance, ownership and history, the projects we list with prices, the payment plan, how buying works, the ownership route and residency, and a short FAQ.

If you spot an error or a fact we have missed, or you are a developer or buyer who can document a correction, send it through our contact page with a link or a document. We will check it against the same standard, update the profile and note the new check date. For help reading a specific contract or developer, ask us about an Oman developer.

How the directory of real estate developers in Oman is organised, and where to find each profile

The 26 profiles can be read in the order of the cards above or by the place where the developer builds. This section lists them by setting so that a reader who knows the community can go straight to the right profile. The grouping follows the geography of the projects we list.

State-backed groups and master developers: OMRAN Group explains the state developer’s role, Muriya covers Jebel Sifah and Hawana Salalah, Al Mouj Muscat covers the Al Seeb waterfront community and Muscat Bay covers Bandar Jissah. Next to Muscat Bay, Zen Development describes Zen Residences and Barr Al Jissah describes the resort community and Al Mina.

Yiti and the Muscat coast: Dar Global covers AIDA and Diamond Developers covers The Sustainable City – Yiti. Eagle Hills Muscat covers the Mandarin Oriental residences at Shatti Al Qurum, and Alargan Towell covers Telal Al Qurm, and Rozal Development covers Alef Qurum Residence in the same masterplan.

Sultan Haitham City: Talaat Moustafa Group covers Jood, Al Ahly Sabbour covers Wadi Zaha, Dream Villa covers Al Ahlam District, Sarooj Development covers Sarooj Oasis, Al Abrar Real Estate covers Hay Al Wafa and Adante Realty covers Yenaier Residences.

Muscat Hills and Knowledge Oasis Muscat: Al Nama Real Estate covers Opal Residences, Al Osool covers Golf Hills and The Pearl, Dar Arabia covers Dar Muscat Hills, and Wujha Development covers Uptown Muscat and Central 7.

Dhofar and the regions: Mira Developments covers Mira Ocean Estates at Hawana Salalah and Al Zaid Development covers the Taqah coast. Maysan Properties covers Maysan Square in Duqm, Sohar Real Estate Development covers Plumeria in Sohar, and Zain Property Development covers Husn Al Zain in Bidbid and Nismat Zain in Sur.

Each profile opens with a table at a glance and lists the projects we list under that developer, with the company that builds and sells each one. Our guide to Oman property developers explains how master developers, plot developers and sellers fit together, and the handover calendar places the stated targets of all these projects side by side.

Can foreigners buy from these real estate developers in Oman?

Foreigners can buy freehold inside an Integrated Tourism Complex under Royal Decree 12/2006, and the profiles describe the Muscat resort communities on that basis. Our listings describe the Sultan Haitham City neighbourhoods, Muscat Hills and Plumeria in Sohar as freehold and open to all nationalities. Maysan in Duqm and The Sea Front Residences at Taqah are described with 99-year leasehold terms, and the Surooh communities follow the programme rules. The approval document and the title route are part of the documents a buyer receives when reserving.

What does “OMRAN-backed” mean for a buyer?

OMRAN is a state-owned tourism developer. Among real estate developers in Oman it is a shareholder in Muriya and Al Mouj Muscat, a joint-venture partner at Muscat Bay and The Sustainable City – Yiti, and a master-plan partner at AIDA. It is a partner or shareholder in each of our four linked projects, and the contract is signed with the project company.

How do payment plans differ between developers?

The share paid before handover runs from 30% at The Sustainable City – Yiti to 100% on Muriya’s Olive Farms and at Al Mina, with 50% at Luma and at Mira Ocean Estates, 80% at Golf Hills, 90% at Opal Residences and 95% on the Talaat Moustafa Group 4.5-year plan. Some plans follow construction events, some follow the calendar, and some let the buyer choose a tier or a length of up to 10 years. Among real estate developers in Oman, the dated schedule is set out in the sale and purchase agreement.

Which projects qualify for Golden Residency?

Golden Residency needs a single ITC property worth at least OMR 200,000, and the Royal Oman Police decides. In the profiles, price points at or above that figure appear at the villas at AIDA, the larger units at Muriya’s Amazi, Eagle Hills Muscat’s two- and three-bedrooms, the St. Regis, Vistal’s two-bedroom, Diamond Developers’ three-bedroom and villa, the Muscat Bay and Luma villas, the Al Mina two-bedroom and larger homes, the Uptown Muscat four-bedroom duplex and the Hay Al Wafa villa. Published prices at Talaat Moustafa Group, Alargan Towell, Mira, Al Ahly Sabbour, Al Nama Real Estate, Zain Property Development, Sarooj Development and Maysan Properties are below that line. For Dar Muscat Hills, the position depends on the title category and the price confirmed in the sales documents. The units at Rozal Development’s Alef Qurum Residence are priced below that line. The Owner Visa has no minimum value.

How is my money protected when I buy off-plan?

Under Royal Decree 79/2025, licensed developers must hold buyers’ payments in a project escrow account with withdrawals tied to construction phases. The reservation documents normally name the bank, the account name and the licence number, and the sale and purchase agreement carries a dated handover clause.

What should I prepare when reserving a home?

Prepare to receive and keep the reservation form, the sale and purchase agreement, the payment schedule, the escrow account details and the handover schedule, together with the ITC approval and title details for the plot. The section on what to prepare when reserving lists each document.

Where do these real estate developers in Oman build?

Many of the 26 build in Muscat Governorate, in communities such as Al Mouj, Yiti, Bandar Jissah, Barr Al Jissah, Muscat Hills, Knowledge Oasis Muscat and Sultan Haitham City. Muriya, Mira Developments and Al Zaid Development build in Dhofar, Maysan Properties in Duqm, Sohar Real Estate Development in Sohar, and Zain Property Development in Bidbid and Sur.
