Al Minzifah village regains its luster
Al Minzifah village, located in the Wilayat of Ibra (160 km from Muscat), is distinguished by its forts, towers and old houses built of plaster and mud. Its facades are decorated with engravings and ornaments, making it one of Oman's archaeological landmarks. Although most of the village's buildings have cracked walls and some of their columns have fallen, this has not diminished its identity as a symbol of Oman's architectural arts. Anyone visiting this village can immediately recognise its historical and architectural significance. Historical sources indicate that it was the commercial centre of Ibra, with its architectural designs featuring shops that underscore the village's vibrant marketing activity. In addition to its economic value, historical sources indicate that this village has succeeded in attracting many travellers and historians. Some have described it as one of the most beautiful Arab villages, with a unique Islamic and Arab character. In recognition of its historical and economic value, the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism has undertaken a comprehensive, detailed study of this unique village. This study covers the old buildings, the surrounding green oases and the revival of traditional crafts still practiced by residents. The ministry seeks to leverage all factors that may contribute to enhancing tourism in the coming period. The development plan also includes 'Bait Al Derwazah' one of the oldest houses in the village. It was built on several floors and is distinguished by its exquisite geometric carvings and decorations. The restoration of 'Bait Al Derwazah' dates back to 2012, in a deliberate move aimed at encouraging the villagers to restore their old homes. Parts of these houses, which have been partially destroyed, can be restored and rehabilitated, and then invested in as museums, inns, or cafes. In addition to this house, the village includes other houses called Al Minzifah Palaces, most of which consist of two or three floors, including 'Bait Al Shareeah', 'Bait Al Kabeer', 'Bait Al Oud' and 'Bait Al Boomah'. As for the date of construction of this village, some sources date it back to the beginning of the Ya'rubi state. The oldest inscriptions on the archaeological buildings in this village date back to 1716.

New tourism roles created to boost Omani talent in hospitality
By OUR CORRESPONDENT Muscat – Ministry of Heritage and Tourism has approved 73 new professional designations for the hotels and resorts sector in coordination with Ministry of Labour. The move is aimed at supporting the regulation and development of Oman's growing tourism industry and improving the labour market's capacity to integrate national talent. The designations have been added to the Unified Gulf Guide for Professional Classification and Description. These are categorised based on economic activities within the tourism sector, including hotels, resorts, rest houses, chalets, heritage inns and guest houses. The new titles are expected to give employers and operators in the hospitality sector more precise tools for defining their human resource needs, supporting better workforce planning and institutional performance. Officials said the initiative is part of an ongoing effort to coordinate labour market readiness with tourism development goals. It also supports Oman Vision 2040, which identifies tourism as a key pillar in the sultanate's economic diversification strategy.
