Sultan Haitham City – a new city by Oman's Ministry of Housing, master-planned by SOM
Sultan Haitham City is the first city of a national programme run by Oman's Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning: 14.8 million m² in Seeb, north-west of Muscat, planned for 20,000 homes and about 100,000 residents in nineteen walkable neighbourhoods. The master plan is by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), the practice behind the Burj Khalifa and One World Trade Center, and turns a 7.5-kilometre dry wadi into the city's central park.
Neighbourhoods such as Hay Al Wafa, Hay Wadi Zaha and Yenaier Residence are built by licensed Omani contractors under the Ministry's programme and sold on construction-linked plans with payments to project escrow accounts. The city is a designated freehold zone: buyers of any nationality register title in their own name and qualify for residency under the real-estate residency programme.
A one-bedroom with two bathrooms on the quiet side of Hay Wadi Zaha
Hay Wadi Zaha is one of the first residential neighbourhoods of Sultan Haitham City, the 1,500-hectare city the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning is building in Seeb around a 7.5 km wadi park, with schools, clinics and shops planned inside the quarters. The apartment is a one-bedroom of 80 m² in total — 70 m² inside and a 10 m² terrace — facing the block’s inner courtyard, the quiet side away from the street.
The living and dining area opens onto the terrace and takes the fully equipped kitchen; the master bedroom has a dressing area and its own bathroom, while a second bathroom serves guests, so the suite stays private. The block comes with parking, 24-hour security, landscaped areas and walking paths, with retail and services nearby. A straightforward size for a couple, a first buyer or a long-term rental. Sold off-plan; handover date on request.
