The development includes an 800m promenade, retail kiosks, a boat rental facility, a modern restaurant overlooking the sea, a dedicated children’s play area, decorative water fountains, landscaped green spaces and shaded outdoor seating areas, in addition to supporting service facilities.

Al Jabri noted that the project is a significant addition to Musandam’s tourism and recreational infrastructure, enhancing the attractiveness of the coastal area while creating a suitable setting for marine activities and community events.

He added that the waterfront will contribute to improving the urban landscape of Bukha and support the governorate’s broader tourism development strategy.

According to Al Jabri, the project will also create new investment opportunities, support small and medium-sized enterprises through its commercial facilities, stimulate local economic activity and increase tourism-related spending.

Upon completion, the waterfront is expected to become a prominent attraction that combines Musandam’s natural beauty with modern amenities, further strengthening the governorate’s reputation as one of Oman’s most distinctive coastal tourism destinations.
