SALALAH, Feb. 1 -


The obstacles of setting up of petrol stations in Rakhyout seem to be over with the first meeting of the largest community company in Salalah and selection of its Board of Directors.


Named as Rakhyut Investment Company, it has got 1,061 shareholders and has managed to collect RO 650,000 to kick-start several projects.


Among the initial projects, the company is willing to take up the petrol filling station job after due permission and official requirements.


Keeping in mind the sustainability of the company and ensuring direct benefit to the local people, all the business partners in this company are from Rakhyout.


A meeting of the newly launched company’s business partners was held in the Salalah chapter of the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OCCI) on Wednesday.


All the participants were enthusiastic about the company and upcoming projects, as they were a kind of assurance to address some local issues as well as a big business opportunity for the local people.


Musthail Rajhait al Mahary, who was elected one of the board members of the company, sounded optimistic about the company due to encouraging public response and the contribution that came from respective shareholders.


“This is something amazing to see such a response. This gives us greater responsibility to perform and keep the company in the profit zone always to cater to the needs of the business partners,” he said.


Another member of the Board of Directors termed this a great value addition for Rakhyout and adjoining areas which attract lots of tourists in all the four seasons.


The company is likely to start operation very soon after clearing some formalities. Al Mahary put stress on setting up of a petrol station in Rakhyout and said the newly formed company would take it up on a priority basis.


“Setting up of a petrol station in Rakhyout is important as the place charms a large number of tourists throughout the year due to extended green patches, see-saw views of mountain and sea and a pleasant drive that tempts every Salalah visitor,” he said.


He, however, made it clear that the Rakhyut Investment Company would not be limited only to setting up of petrol stations but many other viable business projects as well.


The company, according to him, is going to be a great value addition for Rakhyout area due to touristic importance the area has got. “Since the place has been widely publicised as an important tourist spot, it attracts a large number of tourists. Khareef or no Khareef, tourists keep on pouring in Rakhyout.”


The company, according to him, would customise projects according to the needs of the local people and requirements of the region. He is sure about the success of the company and a major employment source for the local people.
