About this project

Madinat Al Irfan is Omran Group's flagship masterplan, developed in partnership with Majid Al Futtaim — a 624-hectare 'new city' extension of Muscat sited next to Muscat International Airport, built around a central wadi/nature park (~108 hectares). The full masterplan targets roughly 11,000 residential units, 100,000 sqm of retail, and 700,000 sqm of office space, delivered in three stages over about 20 years.

This is the largest single project on this list by a wide margin, and correspondingly the longest-horizon one — treat early phases as what's actually available now, not the full 20-year buildout, which is still largely on paper.

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.
