Al Ahly Sabbour Begins Construction at Wadi Zaha: Key Opportunities for Investors and Business Owners in Oman
MUSCAT: Al Ahly Sabbour Developments has officially initiated construction at Wadi Zaha, marking the company’s first development project in the Sultanate of Oman. The foundation stone laying ceremony signals the shift from planning to implementation. The project has already exceeded expectations by achieving 101% of its 2025 sales target, with total investments reaching RO 115 million, demonstrating strong market confidence.
The groundbreaking event took place under the patronage of Dr. Khalfan bin Said al Shueili, Minister of Housing and Urban Planning, and was attended by Eng. Ahmed Sabbour, Chairman and Managing Director of Al Ahly Sabbour Developments, alongside senior officials, investors, and business leaders.
Eng. Ahmed Sabbour remarked, “Starting construction at Wadi Zaha is a significant milestone that reaffirms our commitment to the Omani market. At Al Ahly Sabbour, we prioritize disciplined execution, clear timelines, and develop properties built to endure.” Phase One of the project includes villas and townhouses and has commenced in collaboration with Delta Contracting as the executive contractor. This partnership builds on a successful history of delivering landmark developments in Egypt and benefits from Delta’s regional expertise in the Gulf, reflecting a shared focus on quality, efficiency, and disciplined execution.
Wadi Zaha is strategically located within Sultan Haitham City and forms part of Al Ahly Sabbour’s long-term expansion plan in Oman, 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 environment.
In addition to residential living, Wadi Zaha offers foreign investors the opportunity to apply for residency in Oman, subject to paying at least 30% of the unit’s value, in accordance with regulations. This makes the project not only a premier lifestyle destination but also an attractive long-term investment.
Wadi Zaha is the first of three integrated developments—Wadi Zaha, Wadi Safa, and Wadi Tala—planned by Al Ahly Sabbour within Sultan Haitham City. The commencement of construction highlights the company’s dedication to its development plans as part of a sustained strategy focused on fostering the city’s growth, enhancing quality of life, and building future-ready communities in line with Oman’s urban development goals.
