Al Ahly Sabbour Begins Construction at Wadi Zaha: Key Opportunities for Investors and Entrepreneurs in Oman
Al Ahly Sabbour Developments has officially laid the foundation stone and commenced construction for Wadi Zaha, marking the company’s inaugural project in the Sultanate of Oman. The development has already surpassed its 2025 sales target, achieving 101% of the goal, with total investments amounting to OMR 115 million, reflecting strong market confidence.
The groundbreaking ceremony was held under the patronage of H.E. Dr. Khalfan bin Said bin Mubarak Al Shuaili, Minister of Housing and Urban Planning. It was attended by Eng. Ahmed Sabbour, Chairman and Managing Director of Al Ahly Sabbour Developments, alongside senior officials, investors, and key business leaders.
Eng. Ahmed Sabbour commented, “The start of construction at Wadi Zaha signifies a pivotal milestone and reaffirms our dedication to the Omani market. At Al Ahly Sabbour, we advance through disciplined execution, clear timelines, and developments built to last.”
Construction for Phase One, which includes villas and townhouses, has begun in partnership with Delta Contracting, the project’s executive contractor. This collaboration builds on a longstanding successful partnership across multiple landmark developments in Egypt and benefits from Delta’s extensive regional expertise in the Gulf, all aligned by a shared commitment to quality, efficiency, and disciplined execution.
Situated within Sultan Haitham City, Wadi Zaha is a key component of Al Ahly Sabbour’s long-term expansion strategy in Oman, fully aligned with Oman Vision 2040. With over 30 years of development experience and more than 65 completed projects, the company aims to deliver integrated, future-ready communities that provide lasting value to the urban landscape.
In addition to residential offerings, Wadi Zaha presents a unique opportunity for foreign investors to apply for residency in Oman, subject to payment of at least 30% of the unit value, in accordance with relevant regulations. This makes the project not only a sought-after lifestyle destination but also a compelling long-term investment.
Wadi Zaha is the first of three integrated developments planned by Al Ahly Sabbour within Sultan Haitham City, alongside Wadi Safa and Wadi Tala. This marks the beginning of a broader, sustained investment vision in Oman. The commencement of construction highlights the company’s commitment to fulfilling its development plans as part of a long-term strategy aimed at fostering city growth, enhancing quality of life, and building future-ready communities in line with Oman’s urban ambitions.
