Muriya Tourism Development – the Orascom–OMRAN builder of Jebel Sifah and Hawana Salalah
Muriya is the joint venture of Orascom Development Holding, the Egyptian town builder behind El Gouna and Andermatt, and OMRAN Group, the executive arm of the Omani government for tourism development. No private company has put more into Omani tourism real estate: more than USD 750 million invested and 1,200 hotel rooms across its two Integrated Tourism Complexes, Jebel Sifah on the coast 45 minutes south-east of Muscat and Hawana Salalah on the Arabian Sea in Dhofar. Both are operating resorts with marinas, hotels, beaches and residents, not just master plans.
Muriya sells its residential releases directly on construction-linked plans — Riviera Residences and Raya on 10/90, The Beachfront on 10/80/10, Amazi on 10/82/8 — and keeps running the destinations after handover: property management, rentals, the marinas, the golf course and the beach clubs are all operated by the developer. As ITCs, both resorts give owners of any nationality freehold title and the right to apply for an Omani residence visa for themselves and their immediate family.
Garden villas inside a marina resort
Raya is for buyers who want a house rather than an apartment but still inside a resort: two- and three-bedroom villas with their own gardens, a quiet cluster of walking and cycling paths, and the Jebel Sifah marina, beach and hotel a few minutes away.
The payment plan is spread over construction — 10% on booking and 90% in instalments as the villas are built — with nothing due at handover.

Yes. Jebel Sifah is an Integrated Tourism Complex (ITC), where citizens of any country can buy freehold property in their own name and apply for an Omani residence visa tied to the ownership.
What taxes and fees apply?

How are my payments protected?
Instalments go directly to the developer's project escrow account, released to the developer against construction milestones — never through an agent. We check the escrow arrangement for every project before you sign.
