Three villages will make up Omani Mountain Destination, a mixed-use district for 8,000 people being developed for Oman by the country's Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning.
Set to be built at an altitude of 2,400 metres in the Jabal al Akhdar mountain range, the development is being led by Oman's Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning (MoHUP) with a masterplan by engineering firm AtkinsRéalis.
Once complete, it will serve as a mixed-use destination expected to create 5,000 jobs and accommodate a residential population of 8,000.
Oman has announced its plans for Omani Mountain Destination
Spanning across a series of mountaintops, three villages will be connected by weaving paths, bridges and roads carved into the landscape. A cable car will also operate as a key mode of transport across the undulating landscape. The proposal will offer 2,527 homes and 2,000 hotel rooms, along with a health and wellness village, a high-altitude training facility, an amphitheatre, a museum and a biodiversity centre.

The renders of Omani Mountain Destination reveal outdoor spaces defined by paved walkways and open squares, interspersed with areas of greenery and bodies of water.
Meanwhile, the more dense areas will be populated with rows of housing and public buildings, with infrastructure built into the mountainsides.
