What that means in money
Hawana Salalah's tracked OMR 144 / sqft and 6.5% 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 Hawana Salalah. A specific unit's price moves with floor, view, finish, age, and service charges.

Overview
Hawana Salalah is Oman's largest Integrated Tourism Complex, built and operated by Muriya — a joint venture between the Oman Tourism Development Company (OMRAN) and Egypt's Orascom Development Holding. As a designated ITC, it offers full freehold ownership open to all nationalities, unlike the standard-ownership city centres tracked elsewhere in Salalah and Sohar.
The development centers on a marina ringed by cafes, shops, and restaurants, and includes Oman's first Aqua Park — positioning it as a genuine resort destination rather than a residential suburb that happens to be freehold. This resort character is central to its investment case: most demand is seasonal.
Peak demand comes from the Khareef monsoon season (late June to September), when Dhofar's unique cooler, misty climate draws millions of regional tourists and drives short-term rental income — the primary reason buyers here differ from Muscat's ITC buyers, who are drawn more by permanent-residence lifestyle than seasonal yield.
The estimated 6.5% 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.
