In the Dhofar Governorate, there is a bold and promising project called Salalah Future City. The city features public areas, a nature reserve, and a waterfront, making it an easily accessible integrated city with a state-of-the-art transportation system that makes commuting enjoyable and seamless.
In addition, the developing city has green infrastructure that lowers carbon emissions and a healthy environment. With the help of cutting-edge technologies, a strong and reliable infrastructure, and intelligent systems, Salalah Future City offers all essential services and necessities. The city’s green public areas and recreational centers are just a couple of its other attributes.
Engineer Dalal al Lawatiyah, Project Manager of the Future City of Salalah project, said: “The city has a stunning coastal view as it is located in the heart of the urban centre of Greater Salalah bordered by the Arabian Sea to the south, Razat farm to the north, Khor Sha’ to the east and Khor Al Dahariz to the west. Its location adjoining Al Maamoura Palace makes the city a focal point in the midst of Salalah’s urban and natural attractions.
With a projected population of up to 60,000, the 7 square kilometer city is anticipated to have roughly 12,000 housing units. With 2.5 million square metres of open green spaces and gardens devoted to cultural, natural, and recreational uses, the city will have an essential structure that guarantees living and working spaces. The city is flexible enough to adjust to different climates because of this flexibility in design. According to Al Lawatiyah, the green areas also serve as a network that connects the city’s north and waterfront.
She added: “With the exquisite khareef season of Dhofar Governorate, Salalah Future City will become an ideal destination and an exceptional experience for tourists seeking relief from the scorching summer heat. The city contains various facilities and services, a stunning sea view, a water canal that cuts through the city centre adding wonderful and distinctive views combining entertainment, relaxation and fun to become the leading future city in the governorate.”
