MUSCAT: The Muttrah Cable Car project is making significant strides as groundwork progresses at full speed. The project has garnered attention with visits from several officials of the Muscat Governorate, emphasizing its importance to the region’s tourism and infrastructure development. The initial phases involve extensive earthworks, currently being carried out at one of the designated sites, with restricted access to ensure the safety and security of the operations. Contractors working on the project confirmed that these preliminary activities are crucial for laying a solid foundation for the ambitious endeavor.
The cable car system will feature three strategically located stations, offering a seamless experience for visitors and residents alike. The starting point will be near the iconic fish market adjacent to Port Sultan Qaboos, which is already a vibrant hub of activity. The second station will be situated atop the mountain near Riyam Park, providing panoramic views of Muttrah’s stunning coastline and surrounding landscapes. The final station will culminate at Kalbuh Park, integrating scenic vistas with a relaxing recreational area, enhancing the overall visitor experience.
As the largest cable car project over the sea in the region, this development marks a milestone in urban tourism. The project is expected to attract both local and international tourists, creating a unique way to explore Muttrah’s historical and natural beauty. Beyond its tourism appeal, the cable car system aims to provide a sustainable and environmentally friendly mode of transportation, aligning with global efforts to reduce carbon footprints and promote eco-conscious infrastructure projects.
With each phase carefully planned and executed, the Muttrah Cable Car project is poised to redefine leisure and transportation in Muscat. Upon completion, it will stand as a symbol of innovation and forward-thinking development in Oman, blending traditional heritage with modern conveniences. The project underscores the nation’s commitment to enhancing its urban landscape while preserving its cultural essence, ensuring a lasting impact on both residents and visitors.
