“OREX provides the ideal platform to demonstrate how Muriya is elevating Oman’s profile on the global tourism and investment map,” said engineer Wael Al Lawati, CEO of Muriya. “Hawana Salalah and Jebel Sifah are more than residential projects, they are immersive lifestyle destinations that embody Oman’s breathtaking nature and authentic charm, while offering unique experiences that resonate with today’s discerning residents, travelers, and investors”.
