In a bid to enhance tourism accessibility and bolster infrastructure, Oman’s Ministry of Transport, Communications, and Information Technology (MTCIT) has revealed plans to prioritise road projects connecting key tourist destinations across the Sultanate. Under the leadership of Eng Khamis bin Mohammed al Shammakhi, the ministry aims to significantly improve connectivity to popular sites, facilitating smoother travel experiences for both locals and visitors alike. Among the highlighted projects is the completion of a dual-carriageway leading to the border crossing in the Empty Quarter, marking the first phase of a broader initiative. Additionally, strategic endeavours include the development of alternative routes to prominent attractions such as Jabel al Akhdar and Jabel Shams, both renowned for their natural beauty and cultural significance.
Recognising the potential of Oman’s diverse landscapes, officials emphasise the importance of expanding road networks to accommodate varying vehicle sizes and ease navigation in challenging terrains, ensuring a smoother journey to reach a chosen resort in Oman the likes of Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar. These initiatives align with Oman’s commitment to sustainable tourism development and infrastructure enhancement, fostering economic growth and enriching travel experiences for all.
