Yanqul and Dhank ‘View’ Projects: A Boost for Tourism, Services, and Sustainable Business Growth in Al Dhahirah
IBRI — In alignment with the national strategy to promote sustainable development and enhance the quality of life across governorates, the ‘View’ projects in the Wilayats of Yanqul and Dhank in Al Dhahirah Governorate have emerged as exemplary initiatives. These projects uniquely integrate tourism infrastructure, public services, and a comprehensive environmental vision.
Al Dhahirah has seen significant advancements in public space development through the creation of two modern recreational destinations. These sites offer an inviting environment for both residents and visitors, balancing urban expansion with the conservation of natural resources.
More than architectural developments, these projects embody a firm commitment to sustainability. Their designs respect the region’s geographical character, while providing integrated service facilities that foster local investment and support domestic tourism growth.
The combined investment in the two projects totals nearly RO 4 million. Facilities cater to diverse age groups and include green spaces, an open-air theatre, cafés, sports fields, water fountains, walking paths, barbecue areas, prayer facilities, and additional amenities.
Eng. Nasser bin Ali al Siyabi, Director General of Al Dhahirah Municipality, highlighted that these projects aim to deliver advanced municipal services and modern infrastructure by leveraging technology and smart applications. This initiative enhances quality of life, promotes community well-being, and supports economic growth alongside local investment.
He further emphasized that these projects align with the government’s vision to improve service efficiency and enhance competitiveness locally, regionally, and internationally.
The municipality is also preparing a new project designed to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and empower productive families. By providing an enabling environment with integrated facilities, the initiative seeks to strengthen the economic and social development of Al Dhahirah Governorate.
Eng. Shaikha bint Ahmed al Wahshiyah, Supervisor of the Dhank View Project, described the initiative as one of Al Dhahirah Municipality’s pioneering tourism and development efforts. Strategically located near the main road linking Ibri and Hafeet, the project offers a distinctive viewpoint that enhances the governorate’s tourism and economic appeal. It delivers a holistic environment that meets the needs of residents and visitors alike.
Covering 65,000 square meters, the Dhank project features a public promenade, open amphitheater, children’s play areas, swimming pool, water fountains, food kiosks, parking spaces, a reception building, and pedestrian walkways. With a total budget of RO 2,128,790, the project is approximately 40% complete and is expected to be finalized within a year of commencement.
This development is anticipated to stimulate commercial activity, increase property values, and boost the local economy by supporting SMEs. It will also generate both direct and indirect employment opportunities, reinforcing sustainable development foundations in Dhank.
Eng. Badr bin Khalifa al Shukeili, Supervisor of the Yanqul View Project, reported that this project, situated on the road connecting Yanqul and Suhar, is 35% complete and slated for completion early next year.
