Hay Al Wafa – Sultan Haitham City

Sultan Haitham City – Oman’s First Smart Eco-City
Sultan Haitham City Muscat rises in Al-Seeb, one of Muscat’s most connected and fast-growing areas. SOM designed the masterplan, and the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning (MoHUP) commissioned the project. Together, they created Oman’s first smart eco-city, built on innovation and sustainability.

The development forms part of Oman Vision 2040, the country’s long-term plan for growth. Sultan Haitham City combines advanced green technology, modern infrastructure, and community-focused design. The homes feature energy-efficient solutions, while every neighborhood blends comfort with natural surroundings.

This smart city will welcome more than 100,000 residents. It introduces over 20,000 homes, including three-level townhouses on spacious plots. Covering 1,500 hectares, the city integrates a five-kilometer wadi that flows through its heart, bringing nature closer to everyday life.

Planners divided the city into 19 vibrant neighborhoods. Families will have access to 39 government schools, 25 mosques, and essential services within walking distance. Developers allocated more than nine million square meters for public spaces, ensuring parks, plazas, and walking areas remain central to the lifestyle.

Beyond housing, Sultan Haitham City supports innovation and economic growth. It aims to attract investment, create jobs, and position Muscat as a regional leader in smart city living. The project also strengthens Oman’s role in building eco-friendly communities that align with global sustainability goals.

Sultan Haitham City Muscat does more than offer homes; it creates a new way of living. The city delivers modern design, green technology, and a strong community spirit. To explore Oman’s national strategy for urban growth, visit the official Oman Vision 2040 portal.
