Starting prices are from developers' price lists, converted to OMR where needed. Confirm the price and availability before you reserve. Returns are not guaranteed. Prices, rents and values can fall as well as rise, and off-plan projects can be delayed.

What and where it is

Muttrah is Muscat's historic harbour district. Its waterfront is shaped by the Corniche, the harbour and Muttrah Souq, with the mountains directly behind.

New homes are arriving through the Port Sultan Qaboos Waterfront Masterplan, where the developer VA Group is working with OMRAN, Oman's tourism development company, on a residential neighbourhood called Al Yazan.

Who it suits

Muttrah suits buyers who want to live in the old city instead of a resort community: people who want the Corniche and the souq nearby, a base for regular visits to Muscat, or an apartment to let between their own stays.

The range at Al Yazan runs from 45 sq m studios to four-bedroom penthouses and duplexes with private gardens, so it covers single buyers and families. Homes are sold unfurnished.

Ownership for foreign buyers

The developer's profile in the group's records describes Al Yazan as sitting within an Integrated Tourism Complex, with freehold homes offered to Omani and international buyers. Confirm eligibility and the title for the specific home in writing before you reserve.

Residency follows Oman's national rules. Golden Residency: from OMR 200,000, 10 years, renewable, for a completed unit in an ITC with a title deed. Off-plan buyers: a renewable 6–12-month property visa until the unit is registered (ROP Decision 87/2026). Al Yazan is under construction, so the property visa is the route until the home is completed and registered. Residency rules can change. Eligibility is confirmed by the authorities when you apply; the developer's team supports the application.

Getting around

Al Yazan is beside Port Sultan Qaboos, with the Corniche and Muttrah Souq in the surrounding district. Developer estimates put the Central Business District about 5 minutes away by car, the Royal Opera House Muscat about 10 minutes and Muscat International Airport about 25 minutes.

What is being built

Al Yazan Phase 1A has 169 homes in two towers of ground plus 14 floors, Tower A and Tower B, on a shared podium with a pool, children's play areas, a coworking space and a sports zone. It is under construction, with completion estimated for the first half of 2029.

Later phases of the wider masterplan add a waterfront promenade of about 400 metres, a 20,000 sq m courtyard park and retail streets. All three payment plans start with 20% on booking, with 30%, 50% or 26% due at handover. Prices are on request.
