Oman is investing $2.6 billion in a Smart City project to modernize its capital, Muscat. The project aims to preserve the city’s traditional look while introducing modern amenities. Muscat is known for its low-rise buildings and rich history, unlike Dubai’s skyscraper-dominated landscape.
The Smart City project is part of Oman’s efforts to diversify its economy beyond oil. The country is also developing Sultan Haitham City, a new project that will provide homes, schools, and mosques for 100,000 people.
