SULTAN HAITHAM CITY
A Modern City Shaping Muscat’s Future
Discover Sultan Haitham City
Sultan Haitham City is a major government-led urban development designed to introduce a smarter, greener and more connected way of living in Muscat. Located in Seeb, the new city forms part of Oman Vision 2040 and brings together residential neighbourhoods, commercial areas, public services and extensive green spaces.
Unlike a conventional single-developer project, Sultan Haitham City is a large master-planned destination containing multiple neighbourhoods and real estate projects. Different developers are participating in its construction, offering apartments, townhouses and villas for different household requirements and budgets.
Led by Oman’s Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning, the city is designed to accommodate Muscat’s growing population while establishing new standards for sustainable urban development.
According to the official master plan designed by SOM, the completed city is expected to cover approximately 14.8 million square metres, contain around 20,000 homes across 19 neighbourhoods, and accommodate approximately 100,000 residents.
More than 2.9 million square metres of public green space, connected parks, shaded plazas, pedestrian routes, public transport and community facilities are planned. Delivery is phased, so construction status and completion dates differ by project.
A Strategic Location in Seeb, Muscat
Sultan Haitham City is located in the Wilayat of Seeb, within the wider Muscat urban area. Its position provides connections to established residential districts, major road networks, commercial destinations and Muscat International Airport.
The location supports Muscat’s continued expansion while giving residents access to a complete community away from the busiest parts of the city.
As infrastructure develops, residents are expected to benefit from:
- Main roads and transport connections
- Schools and educational institutions
- Healthcare facilities
- Shopping and commercial areas
- Parks and recreational spaces
- Employment and business districts
- Muscat International Airport

Foreign Ownership and Residency Considerations
Sultan Haitham City should not be described as one citywide Integrated Tourism Complex. Foreign ownership may be available in specifically approved projects, phases or units, but approval in one neighbourhood does not automatically apply throughout the city.
International buyers should obtain written confirmation of ownership eligibility, title and registration, project approval, the developer’s authority to sell, residency eligibility, and rental or resale conditions.
Buying property does not automatically guarantee residency. Ownership rights and residency programmes are separate legal matters governed by current Omani regulations.
