Khazaen City concept masterplan ready

FROMT PAGE 1 Additionally, entertainment avenues, cinemas, superstores, hypermarkets, malls, retail shopping centres and automotive dealerships are also planned.

Last month, Khazaen Economic City signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Majis Industrial Services to study and evaluate the development and execution of potable water and wastewater services in the area.

Khazaen has the advantage of having direct access to international maritime routes, preferential market access under free trade agreements with the GCC, Singapore and the United States, and proximity to GCC, Indian, Asian and African markets.

“Khazaen will be a place where industrial, business, educational and residential facilities are provided, complemented by centres of higher education and learning.”

Khazaen is served by major transportation infrastructure such as the Batinah Expressway, Oman Rail in future and Muscat International Airport, proving to be an ideal logistics, warehousing, light industrial and commercial hub.

Khazaen’s logistics facilities will be directly connected to its state-ofthe-art dry port, which is an inland intermodal terminal connected by road or rail (in future) to a seaport.

Khazaen will also have facilities for storage, logistics, consolidation of goods, maintenance for road and rail cargo carriers and customs clearance services.
