What that means in money
Azaiba's tracked OMR 50.8 / sqft and 7.3% estimated gross yield, applied to three reference unit sizes. These are conversions of the per-sqft figure — the same sizes are used for every area so comparisons stay honest — not measured averages of what has actually sold or let in Azaiba. A specific unit's price moves with floor, view, finish, age, and service charges.

Overview
Azaiba is an established coastal neighborhood in Bawshar province, running along the Sultan Qaboos coastal corridor between Al Ghubra and Qurum, on the route toward the airport. It is a mixed residential zone — predominantly villas with some apartments — known for Azaiba Beach, a relatively unspoiled stretch popular with both residents and tourists.
Unlike Al Mouj or Muscat Hills, Azaiba is not a freehold ITC — it is older, more organically developed housing stock, with limited retail and dining relative to newer developments but reputable schools and healthcare within the wider district.
A genuine caveat worth knowing before buying: parts of Azaiba sit under the Muscat Airport flight path, and several expat resources note real, street-dependent aircraft noise — a factor that helps explain its pricing relative to quieter coastal areas nearby.
The estimated 7.3% rental yield shown above is a gross figure — before service charges, maintenance, vacancy periods, or financing costs. It is a useful way to compare areas against each other, but not a substitute for a property-specific cash-flow calculation. Off-plan share matters because off-plan purchases typically involve a payment plan spread over the construction period and carry different risk and timing considerations than buying a completed, ready-to-rent unit — neither is inherently better, but they suit different buyer situations.
