Yanqul: In line with the national approach to promote sustainable development and enhance quality of life across governorates, the “View” projects in the wilayats of Yanqul and Dank in A’Dhahirah Governorate stand out as promising models integrating tourism infrastructure, public services, and a comprehensive environmental vision. The governorate has witnessed a leap in the development of public spaces through the establishment of two modern recreational destinations, providing an attractive environment for residents and visitors while balancing urban growth with the preservation of natural resources.
According to Oman News Agency, these development views represent not only architectural projects but also a practical commitment to sustainability principles. The designs respect the geographical character of the region and offer integrated service facilities that enhance local investment opportunities and support domestic tourism. The total cost of the two projects amounts to nearly RO 4 million, encompassing
a range of facilities catering to all age groups. These include green spaces, an open-air theater, cafés, sports fields, water fountains, walking and barbecue areas, prayer facilities, and other amenities.
Eng. Nasser Ali Al Siyabi, Director General of A’Dhahirah Municipality, stated that the governorate aims, through these view projects, to provide advanced municipal services and modern infrastructure. This contributes to enhancing quality of life, promoting community well-being, and supporting economic growth and local investment. He added that these projects align with the government’s approach to improve service efficiency and enhance competitiveness at local, regional, and international levels.
