RO1.7bn pacts with Egypt's TMG for housing, tourism projects
Signed during the 20th Oman Real Estate Conference and Exhibition on Monday, the agreements cover construction of 13,000 residential and hotel units across more than 4.9mn sqm of land. The two projects will be linked by an electric tram network.
TMG will lead the development of an integrated residential community in Sultan Haitham City and a coastal tourism destination in Seeb. The residential project, spread over 2.6mn sqm, will include several new neighbourhoods within Sultan Haitham City, including Zones 7, 8, 9, 11, 12A and 12B. It will offer a mix of villas, apartments and multi-use buildings, along with parks, mosques, green spaces, and a sports and social club.
The second project will develop 2.2mn sqm of coastal land in the Al Shakhakhit area of Seeb on a 1.76km beachfront along Sea of Oman. It will feature a yacht marina, a luxury hotel, villas, artificial lakes and landscaped public spaces aiming to position the area as a high-end marine tourism destination.

Employment: policies, progress, and prospects
Oman is currently going through an extensive national transformation as outlined in Vision 2040 which seeks to diversify the economy, reduce reliance on hydrocarbons, and promote sustainable development. One of the most defining features of this transformation is the integrated framework designed around the strategic goal of generating employment opportunities for nationals and increasing local content in all economic activities. Oman's development agenda also places critical importance on 'local content', which can broadly be referred to as the value added of the workforce, goods, and services employed in a specific industry. It is my intention in this article to examine the evolving landscape of employment in Oman, local content policies and laws, sectoral performance, the role of SMEs, skill development programs, as well as the impending challenges and prospects of the economic transformation. Oman's inclusive economic resilience vision is being supported by government programs and hard data, and this is what the paper seeks to present. NATIONAL LOCAL CONTENT POLICY (2024-2030) In 2024 the council of ministers approved the national local content policy (2024-2030) as a guiding document aimed at embedding Omani goods, services, and labor into the economy. Maximising the in-country value (ICV) generated from public and private sector investments is one of the main objectives under the policy. It also supports Oman Vision 2040 on economic diversification, social inclusion, and sustainability. The policy is built on four strategic pillars: • Supply Chain Development: Sponsoring local Omanis by both the government and private sectors as suppliers and contractors. • Workforce Development: Equipping Omanis through strategic educational programs, vocational trainings, and practical job placements. • Innovation and Technology Transfer: Improving the national capabilities through partnering in R&D and knowledge transfer as well as through licensing. • Entrepreneurship and SME Participation: Supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) through finance, mentorship, and contract allocation. The policy requires the ministries and large corporations to embed the ICV framework into their tendering processes. This also includes provisions for workforce, procurement from Omani suppliers, and local subcontractor employment. To foster sustainable job creation, Oman has established targeted Omanisation goals tailored to particular sectors. OMANISATION STRATEGY Legal Changes: To boost Omanis' employment opportunities, the country introduced several new labor laws and ministerial decrees. The most impactful include: • Labour Law No. 53/2023: Introduces new rules on employment contracts, termination, and conflict resolution. • Ministerial Decree No. 501/2024: Broadened the scope of occupations reserved for Omanis and added fines for breaches. • Workforce Localisation Plans: Companies must file annual plans detailing the number of Omanis employed (or to be employed), their distribution by gender, salary, training, and outlined promotion pathways. Non-licenced firms may be penalised with fines, restricted expatriate hiring, or barred from public tenders. Omanisation Sector Goals: To foster sustainable job creation, Oman has established targeted Omanisation goals tailored to particular sectors. These depend on the strategic value and labor intensity of each sector: Banking & Insurance (60-70%), Manufacturing (35-40%), Retail/Wholesale (20-25%), Oil & Gas (40-50%), Tourism & Hospitality (30-35%), and Construction (15-20%). These benchmarks are met through mandatory quotas, regular audits, and integration into the licensing and visa issuance processes. The private sector is the backbone of Oman's economy, with a workforce of more than 1.7 million. Nevertheless, the share of Omanis working in it is very small in proportion to foreign workers. Employment in the Public Sector: As noted earlier, the public sector continues to be the biggest employer of Omanis, with more than 90 per cent coming from the local population out of a total of 195,902 employees. Focused on increasing the number of Omanis in the private sector, the government has also implemented new policies and training initiatives directed at the sector. LOCALLY DEVELOPED CONTENT AND RESULTS Key Initiatives: A number of local content initiatives have been started at the national level to achieve the intended objectives: • Majd Programme: Launched in 2024 by the Ministry of Energy & Minerals, this initiative mandates that 10-30% of contract value in the energy sector be allocated to Omani companies and SMEs. 12 contracts amounting to 172.5 million USD were granted in the first phase. • Taseen and Itqan Programs: These industrial development initiatives are aimed at decreasing the volume of imports, increasing local production, and advancing research and development activities. They also promote partnerships between local companies and foreign technology partners. Economic and Employment Impact: The economic impact of local content policies is visible on a much wider scale. • More than $33 billion has been injected into the local economy as from 2013 • Over 3000 direct employment opportunities in the private sector • Around 100 industrial facilities established with total investments of $400 million SME Participation in Local Content Small and medium enterprises are a cornerstone of Oman's local content strategy. The government has put in place systems such as Riyada and Esnad that enable SMEs access to government contracts, training opportunities, and funding options. Oman has committed itself to develop an education and training ecosystem that cultivates market-oriented skills among its youth. • Technical and Vocational Education & Training (TVET): Offers diploma and certificate courses in engineering, electronics, mechanics, and logistics. • Public-Private Collaboration: Employers work with polytechnics and schools to align course content with workplace expectations. • STEM and Digital Skills: Coding, AI, and renewable energy are national priorities. • Mandatory Training Plans: Expat employment mandates carry with them legal obligations to train Omanis for the role. SCULPTING VALUE AND PROFIT: • Value Retention: Offsetting capital outflows through local production and procurement. • Job Creation: Thousands of jobs created predominantly among women and youth. • SME Empowerment: Entrepreneurial opportunities from greater access to tenders. • Innovation: National competitiveness is enhanced through incentivised R&D and technology transfer. FURTHER ISSUES AND CONCERNS: Despite these developments, the following issues are still a concern: • Skill Gaps: Graduates not being able to fill available roles due to a lack of essential skills. • Compliance vs. Performance: Meeting quotas doesn't always result in hiring the best qualified candidates. • Misuse of SME Benefits: Larger companies registering as shell SMEs for contract access. • Investor Uncertainty: New companies might have problems with employment demands before they become profitable. • Expat Displacement: Rapid Omanisation may exacerbate the shortage of specialists in certain fields. CONCLUSION Oman is undergoing a tremendous shift within its socio-economic framework. With a blend of policy structural adjustments, strategic planning, inter-agency collaboration, and targeted investment, the country is working towards achieving an independent and more equitable economy. Moving forward, a perpetual fine-tuning towards prioritisation and market forces will be necessary, however, everything is now set. While policy is yet to be converted into action, Oman has excellent opportunities to realise its benefits and safeguard the welfare of its citisens as the Vision 2040 promises.

Savings system/ provident fund for expats: How it works until July 2027
Muscat: The Royal Decree 60/2025 issued last week amended some provisions of Royal Decree 52/2023 that promulgated the Social Protection Law. Concerning the expatriate workforce, the decision states that the implementation of the savings system or the provident fund scheme for expatriates will now be implemented from July 19, 2027, instead of in 2026 as mentioned before. What is the savings system or the provident fund scheme? As per Article 135 of the Social Protection Law, the savings system is a defined contribution system, and the regulation shall specify the provisions governing the savings system. Article 136: The provisions of the savings system shall apply compulsorily to non-Omani workers within the limits of the amount of compulsory savings stipulated in Article 139(1) of this law. The provisions of the savings system shall also apply voluntarily to the following categories: Article 137: The savings system replaces the end-of-service grant or gratuity disbursed by the employer to non-Omanis. Article 138: The employer shall pay the end-of-service grant or gratuity for the service period before the date of commencement of the contribution provisions stipulated in article 139(1) of this law to the non-Omani worker under the provisions of the Labour Law or other related employment systems upon the end of the service, or shall settle it under the provisions of the Labour Law to the savings system or the worker. The savings due from the savings system are disbursed for the period following the date of commencement of the contributions stipulated in article 139(1) of this law to the insured non-Omani in the cases stipulated in article 143 of this law. Article 139: The financing of the savings system shall be as follows: 1. 9% ( nine percent ) of the monthly basic wage of the insured non-Omani. 2. Any amounts of savings paid by the employer, the insured, or others to the system to make savings in favour of the covered groups under the provisions of the regulation. 3. Gifts, bequests, and donations allocated to this system and approved by the board. 4. Loans approved by the board for the savings system after the approval of the Ministry of Finance. Article 140 The regulation shall specify the dates for the payment of the contributions stipulated in Article 139 of this law and the additional amounts imposed on the employer in the event of non-compliance with these dates. Article 141: The saver shall be entitled to the sum of the contributions, the amounts deposited in his account, and the returns on his investment. It is permitted for the regulation to specify a minimum for the investment returns. Article 142: It is permitted, based on an application by the saver, to disburse his savings in one of the following ways, in the manner specified by the regulation: 1. One-time payment. 2. An annual or monthly instalment, taking into account the additional returns collected until the end of the savings period Article 143: The saver is entitled to his savings from the fund in any of the following cases: 1. The end of the employment relationship for the non-Omani worker, unless he engages in another employment contract within the period specified by the regulation. In case of the death of the saver, the savings are disbursed to the legal heirs. The savings are transferred to the savings system in the absence of those entitled under the provisions of the clause. 5. Permanent disability. It is also permitted to use the savings to pay the contributions of the insured in the branch of insurance of the elderly, disability, death, and the branch of insurance against work injuries and occupational diseases in the cases specified by the regulation. Article 144: If the saver leaves the savings system or loses any of its conditions, he shall notify the fund in the manner specified by the regulation. The regulation shall also specify the administrative fines resulting from the failure to notify the fund. Earlier, the Ministry of Labour had clarified how gratuity (end of service) of both the Omani workforce and expatriates will be calculated as per Article 61 of the Labour Law until the implementation of the savings system, which is now scheduled for July 2027. For expatriates Under the previous Labour Law, the worker's gratuity was calculated at a rate of 15 days' wages for each year of service for the first three years, and one month's wages for each subsequent year. But effective from July 31, 2023, gratuity will be calculated at one basic salary for each year of service, based on the employee's most recent basic salary. Gratuity calculation example. A worker continued to work for the employer until the effective date of the new Labour Law on July 31, 2023. For example: An expatriate employment Start Date: August 1. 2021 Basic Salary: RO500. If the employment relationship between the worker and the employer ends after the new law comes into effect, how is the end-of-service gratuity calculated? For the period from the start of employment on August 1, 2021, to the effective date of the new law on July 31, 2023, the gratuity shall be calculated at half of a basic salary per year of service (RO250 for each year), as this period falls under the provisions of the previous law. For the period following the enactment of the new law, le gratuity shall be calculated at one full basic salary per year of service (RO500 for each year), under the new law's requirement that the end-of-service gratuity shall not be less than one basic salary for each completed year of service.

Dhofar: From seasonal escape to sustainable destination
Dhofar is no longer just Oman's monsoon hideaway. A quiet transformation is underway—one that aims to shift the governorate from a three-month seasonal destination into a vibrant, sustainable tourism hub active year-round. With upgraded infrastructure, flagship investments, and an emerging vision aligned with Oman Vision 2040, Dhofar is preparing for its next chapter. FOUNDATIONS IN PLACE Roads have been expanded, Salalah Airport upgraded, and municipal services improved to better serve both residents and the growing number of visitors. In areas like Salalah, Taqah, Mirbat, and Dalkut, we're seeing new hospitality projects, retail developments, and expanded urban services—laying the groundwork for a richer tourism offering. Official data reflects this shift. Tourism contributed RO 2.7 billion to Oman's GDP in 2024, with Dhofar playing a key role—especially during the Khareef season. Still, the governorate's impact remains modest compared to its potential. Meanwhile, outbound travel by Omanis and residents reached RO 1.8 billion—a strong indication that domestic destinations like Dhofar could capture more of that spending if they delivered the right experiences. More than 3.8 million tourists visited Oman in 2024, with over half arriving from the United Arab Emirates. That market—familiar, affluent, and right next door—remains under-leveraged. TWO PROJECTS, ONE DIRECTION Among the most promising signs of Dhofar's evolution are two standout developments: Janaen Salalah, a 5.5 million square metre agritourism destination developed by Omran Group, is designed to blend farming, hospitality, and environmental learning. Coconut and papaya plantations will sit alongside eco-lodges, educational trails, a local produce village, and spaces for cultural exchange. It is a model that fuses sustainability with lifestyle—rooted in place, yet globally relevant. Just a few kilometres away in the Ittin Plain, the award-winning Boulevard al Rathath is preparing to offer something entirely different: a 470,000 m² leisure and entertainment district inspired by the interplay of mist, water, and the Omani identity. With a total investment of RO 40 million, the project includes the 'Grand Souq,' botanical gardens, canal-side restaurants, suspended walkways, open-air theatres, and retail experiences—all built around a central theme of nature in motion. The first phase will be funded by the Ministry of Finance with RO 10 million, with the remaining capital coming from the private sector. Together, the two projects are expected to attract more than 1 million visitors annually and generate over 1,500 jobs, helping diversify Dhofar's economy while creating lasting value for local communities. Both are firmly aligned with Oman Vision 2040's pillars: economic diversification, sustainable cities, private sector empowerment, and local value creation. THE MISSING PIECE: INTEGRATION Despite such gains, the region's tourism landscape remains fragmented. Activities during Khareef are not yet unified under a central brand or management body. Events are often organised in silos, and promotional campaigns—though well-intentioned—lack the consistency, identity, and storytelling power required to position Dhofar competitively on the global map. If Dhofar is to become a true four-season destination, we must move from infrastructure to orchestration—from building roads and hotels to building narratives, partnerships, and systems that hold everything together. FOUR PRIORITIES FOR THE FUTURE 1. Establish a central tourism authority in Dhofar to plan, brand, and coordinate all tourism seasons—Khareef and beyond. 2. Boost investment in eco-, cultural, and adventure tourism in underutilised protected areas, while maintaining environmental integrity. 3. Launch a unified digital platform for booking, navigation, real-time updates, and feedback—making every visitor's phone a smart travel companion. 4. Empower local communities not just as workers, but as owners and storytellers, bringing Dhofar's identity to life through food, crafts, hospitality, and heritage. A TOURISM VISION ROOTED IN PEOPLE At the end of the day, tourists don't come back because of how many stars a hotel has. They return because of how a place made them feel. The warmth of a honey-seller in Mirbat, the pride of a farmer planting coconut trees in Janaen, or a young guide explaining the history of frankincense under the drizzle of Khareef—these are the memories that turn visits into stories, and stories into loyalty. Dhofar's natural beauty is already world-class. What will set it apart is how it uses that beauty to foster connection—between people and place, past and future, economy and ecology. There is no shortage of effort. Ministries are supporting, investors are building, and communities are ready. But to truly elevate Dhofar, these efforts must converge. With coordination, imagination, and a clear sense of purpose, Dhofar can become more than a season—it can become a signature of what sustainable tourism in Oman looks like. The map is drawn. The first foundations are in place. What comes next will define not just Dhofar's tourism—but its legacy.
