Four developments in Sultan Haitham City are listed on this site, and they are at very different stages. Wadi Zaha is under construction, with published prices from OMR 43,050 and its first homes due to be handed over in the first quarter of 2028. Sarooj Oasis is off-plan, with launch prices from about OMR 31,600 and completion targeted for 2028. Yenaier Residences is an apartment scheme under construction with prices on request. Wiam District is a scheme of houses and villas that is still taking registrations of interest.
This is a project-by-project comparison for a buyer choosing between them. For the wider picture, see the Sultan Haitham City area page.

Wadi Zaha: the most advanced and best documented
Wadi Zaha is a 420,000 sq m neighbourhood by Al Ahly Sabbour, an Egyptian developer founded in 1994 with more than 60 projects delivered in Egypt. It is the company's first project in Oman, with RO 115 million committed. The neighbourhood was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, who also drew the masterplan for the city.
Released prices, verified in August 2026, start at OMR 43,050 for a 50 sq m studio, OMR 61,799 for a 75 sq m one-bedroom apartment, OMR 80,850 for two bedrooms at 110 sq m and OMR 109,080 for three bedrooms at 155 sq m. Three-bedroom duplexes of 195 sq m start at OMR 160,491, penthouses at OMR 138,166, and standalone four-bedroom villas of 380 sq m at OMR 340,016. Townhouse prices are quoted on application.
Delta Contracting started work on site on 9 February 2026, beginning with the villa and townhouse streets of a first phase of around 760 homes. The published plan leaves 30% to be paid over the two years after handover, which spreads the cost further than most. Service charges have not been published, and the 3% registration fee sits outside the instalment plan.
Sarooj Oasis: the lowest launch price, from a first-time home developer
Sarooj Oasis is a gated neighbourhood on a site of about 86,000 sq m beside the wadi, with apartments and villas arranged around a central park. Launch coverage gave 210 homes. It is open to foreign buyers.
Published prices from the January 2025 launch start at about OMR 31,600. That buys a one-bedroom apartment of roughly 71 sq m. Some portals show higher figures, so ask for the live price.
The builder is the point to weigh. Sarooj Construction Company is an Omani contractor founded in 1976 and part of the Al Taher Group. It has spent five decades building ports, roads and gas plants. Sarooj Oasis is its first own-brand residential development.
The payment plan is 20% on reservation, 70% during construction and 10% on handover. Ask the developer to confirm in writing the type of title you will receive and which residency route, if any, applies to the home.
Yenaier Residences: apartments in a mixed-use scheme
Yenaier Residences is by Adanté Realty, which Al Adrak Group set up in 2024 as the property brand of its Adrak Developers arm. The homes for sale are in two buildings, Parklane 100 and Parklane 101, inside a plan of six buildings that also includes SOCIO residences and a hotel with The Lux Collective, a business tower and a planned 5,000 sq m retail district.
The apartments are large for their type. Studios run from 71 sq m, one-bedroom homes from about 94 to 128 sq m, two-bedroom homes from 132 to 163 sq m and three-bedroom homes from 189 to 214 sq m. Penthouses run from 407 to 462 sq m. The three-bedroom apartments are named Sky Villas, but they are apartments, not houses.
Prices, payment terms and delivery dates are given on request for each building. Parklane homes are not SOCIO serviced residences.
Wiam District: houses and villas, not yet released
Wiam District, also by Adanté Realty, is planned for neighbourhoods NH6C and NH6D. It has three house collections. Terrace Houses have three main bedrooms and a gross floor area of 259.57 sq m. Duet Villas have four bedrooms and 322.95 sq m. Grove Villas have four or five bedrooms and 372.32 or 391.81 sq m.
All of those figures are gross floor area. They do not tell you the plot size or the internal area. No price, payment schedule or handover date has been published.
Ownership and residency in Sultan Haitham City
Non-Omanis can own in Sultan Haitham City: it is on the list the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning issued again on 28 June 2026. The ministry lists it separately from the Integrated Tourism Complexes, so do not assume the rules for those complexes apply. Ask for the type of title in writing for the specific home.
Golden Residency's property route is written for a completed home in an Integrated Tourism Complex with a title deed, from OMR 200,000. Do not assume a home in Sultan Haitham City qualifies. Ask which residency route applies before you rely on one, and read our residency guide.
What you are buying into
Sultan Haitham City is a 14.8 sq km state project in Seeb, west of central Muscat, planned for about 100,000 residents and built in phases to 2045. The first residents are expected in 2026 to 2027, so there is no rental record yet. By mid-2026 about 1,700 homes had been sold, to buyers from over 35 countries.
The Housing Minister said in February 2026 that investors pay about OMR 900 per sq m in the city.
Early residents will live in a city that is still being built around them for years. Property values and rents can fall as well as rise, and off-plan projects can be delayed.
The bottom line
- Wadi Zaha has the fullest published detail: prices from OMR 43,050 and first handovers scheduled for Q1 2028.
- Sarooj Oasis has the lowest launch price, about OMR 31,600, from a contractor new to home development.
- Yenaier Residences offers large apartments in a mixed-use scheme, with prices and dates on request.
- Wiam District's houses and villas are at registration of interest, with no prices published yet.
- The city has no rental record yet, so treat any income plan as an assumption.
What to check before you reserve
- The type of title and the ownership basis for a buyer with your passport, in writing.
- The live price, since the published figures are dated between January 2025 and August 2026.
- The handover date and delay terms for your building or street.
- Service charges, which several of these projects have not published.
- Which schools, shops and roads will be open when you move in. The comparison tool and the price table help with the rest.
