Nature reserve park in Muscat
It will feature a design that takes into consideration the environmental objectives of the project.
This new mall will be connected to the Muscat Grand mall via an overhead bridge, allowing visitors to move freely between the malls.
The project will open its doors to visitors in 2021. It will be an ecological destination for studying local wildlife as well as a diverse economical and recreational destination that highlights Oman’s natural treasures.
“The primary idea behind this partnership is to provide an effective example for the role the private sector can play in supporting the government’s development efforts,” said Abdulrahman.
The project will also include a special centre for traditional handicrafts to support the local community and entrepreneurs as well as a corner for souvenirs and artworks that reflect the environmental heritage of the Sultanate. In addition, the project will include the construction of a new mall built in a unique environmentfriendly design that blends in with the reserve. The mall will have high terraces that will allow visitors to observe the reserve from above and television screens that will broadcast a live feed that will allow visitors to watch wildlife from inside the mall.
The project will help raise the environmental knowledge and awareness, all in the heart of the capital, Abdulrahman said.
It will also attract different segments of society as well as tourists who would like to know the rich history and unique biological diversity of Oman.
“We plan to plant a number of trees and plants native to the region within the reserve and resettle a number of rare species of animals in order to protect them as well as provide visitors with an opportunity to get a better understanding of their lifestyle and habit. Once completed, this will be a truly enjoyable and educational journey for visitors of all ages,” Abdulrahman said.
