Recent agreements signed in Al Dhahirah to implement various service and development projects across all Wilayats of the Governorate are part of efforts to enhance the municipal sector, according to Eng Naseer bin Ali al Siyabi, Director General of Al Dhahirah Municipality.
Najeeb al Rawas, Governor of Al Dhahirah, signed the agreements for various service and development projects worth RO 12.5 million to be implemented across all wilayats of Al Dhahirah Governorate.
In an exclusive statement to the Observer, Eng al Siyabi explained that these agreements aim to boost municipal services and infrastructure in alignment with the development priorities of Al Dhahirah Governorate and Oman Vision 2040.
He added that the agreements included the signing of the Yanqul and Dhank viewing platform projects, which will directly contribute to increasing local tourism activity in both Wilayats due to the various recreational and leisure facilities they offer for all segments of society. These projects also serve as ideal locations for hosting events and festivals of various types. Moreover, such tourism projects help create job opportunities for the local community through the presence of commercial activities such as cafes, restaurants, and startups in the entertainment sector, as well as supporting productive families.
Al Siyabi pointed out that the road projects play a significant developmental role for the governorate, as they facilitate easy movement for citizens and residents, connecting villages and residential neighborhoods in line with the ongoing construction and urban expansion in the governorate. These projects also enhance the aesthetic and urban character of the wilayats and contribute to the activation of the social, economic and tourism sectors.
The agreements included the signing of two projects: the construction of the Yanqul and Dhank viewing platforms, each spanning 65,000 square meters, with a total cost of RO 4 million. These viewpoints will serve as destinations for residents and tourists, equipped with essential amenities, entertainment, and investment opportunities.
Earlier, Al Rawas said signing these agreements comes within the framework of enhancing the service sector as part of the Governorate Development Programme and the governorate’s project plan for 2023-2024. The primary aim is to implement service and development projects that benefit citizens and residents, ensuring balanced development across the three wilayats.
He added that the agreements will contribute to the development and improvement of municipal and development services, particularly through the paving and maintenance of internal roads. This will follow a well-planned approach that ensures road safety and is based on prioritizing actual needs to provide these services to residential, commercial, and industrial communities across the Wilayats of the governorate, in accordance with available resources. He also mentioned that road projects play a vital developmental role in the governorate.
Additionally, agreements were signed for projects to pave several internal roads in the three wilayats of the governorate—Ibri, Yanqul, and Dhank—at a cost exceeding RO 6 million. The distribution will be as follows: 60 km in Ibri, 25 km in Yanqul, and 25 km in Dhank. This also includes road maintenance projects to repair the internal roads damaged by the tropical depression (Al Mutair low-pressure system) in the Wilayats of the governorate, with a cost exceeding RO 2.7 million.
