Consultants International, Meletitiki (Alexandros N Tombazis) and ER International (

Villas, townhouses and apartments are set in carefully landscaped grounds featuring wide tree-lined boulevards, green parks and inland pools and waterways filled with gently moving seawater. Planting has been carried out with water conservation in mind.
The new marina will energise the area, attracting motorboats and the type of yachts that, until now, have rarely been seen in
Oman
. The 18-hole green links-style golf course - designed by
Greg Norman
- and its golf academy, indoor practice nets, gym, spa, treatment facilities, pool bar and tennis courts will prove a great attraction for tourists and residents alike.
