About this project
Jebel Sifah is a large-scale Integrated Tourism Complex on Oman's coast, combining residential villas and apartments with a marina, hotels, retail, and a 9-hole golf course across a 6.2 million sqm masterplan. Like Muscat Bay, it's one of the more established freehold destinations for foreign buyers.
Given the size of the masterplan, different precincts within Jebel Sifah are at different stages of build-out — treat this as a general directory entry pointing at the development, not a specific unit or phase.
How freehold ownership works in Oman
Foreign nationals cannot generally buy property anywhere in Oman — ownership is restricted to designated Integrated Tourism Complexes (ITCs), a framework established under Royal Decree 12/2006. Inside an approved ITC, foreign buyers can hold full freehold title, the same ownership right as an Omani citizen would have, rather than a leasehold or usufruct arrangement.
Projects on this page are either existing ITCs or reported to be seeking that classification — but ITC status, exact ownership terms, and any residency benefits tied to a purchase can change and should always be confirmed with the developer or a licensed Omani legal advisor before committing funds, not taken from this page alone.
