Five Reasons To Love

Darsait STORY SALIM AL AFIFI AND ASMAA AL BALUSHI | PHOTOGRAPHY SALIM AL AFIFI

D

arsait is locally known as "Little India" due to its large expat population as well as the wide variety of South Asian fashion boutiques and the restaurants found there. An old suburb, about 25 kilometres south of Muscat International Airport, the neighbourhood is conveniently nestled between Muttrah, Qurum, and Ruwi and is home to amenities like banks, hypermarkets, clinics, specialty shops, numerous cafes and restaurants, mosques, a temple, as well as a church. The

1

popular Cave Restaurant Complex, Lulu Hypermarket, and KIMS Hospital are landmarks of the area.

And it is minutes from the Central Banking District, just up the street in Ruwi.

Driving to major business districts and other entertainment spots is relatively easy, with Qurum, Ruwi, and Wadi Kabir just around the corner and beaches like Qantab and Muttrah less than 20 minutes away.

The area is very family-oriented with many schools, including Al Huda Private School, Indian

2

3

School Muscat, Indian School Darsait, and Pakistan School Muscat. And, as surprising as this might sound, Darsait even has its own secluded beach, tucked away at the far end of the suburb.

The residential area has a mix of modern, brandnew, and old, weathered apartments and villas, with incredibly affordable rents ranging between OMR200 to OMR500.

Property Times had a quick chat with Anand Manon, an engineer who loves his 'hood, to find out what Darsait has to offer. —lifestyle@timesofoman.com

MUSCAT'S LITTLE INDIA

AFFORDABLE RATES

WELL CONNECTED

PEACEFUL ESCAPES

ALL ABOUT THE KIDS

The expat community and variety of South Asian shops and restaurants give this area a unique feel. And, for those who enjoy flavourful Indian cuisine, there are countless restaurants offering Indian delicacies from all over the subcontinent.

Darsait’s affordable residential rates are what brings most families flocking to this neighbourhood. You can get more space for the money here than in any other centralised urban area.

At the cross-roads of the Ruwi Street-Muscat Expressway and Sultan Qaboos Highway, adjacent to two busiest business districts in Muscat, Ruwi, and Qurum, and less than 20 minutes from Al Khuwair, Darsait is a commuter's dream location.

With Bustan Beach, Qantab, the Muttrah Corniche, and its own hidden gem of a beach within 15 minutes drive, it is easy to escape the hustle of city life on evenings and weekends.

For parents, the large number of international schools clustered in Darsait means plenty of options for education, after-school programmes, and playmates for their children.

Back to Nature in the Interior STORY ASMAA AL BALUSHI AND SALIM AL AFIFI

an’s deep bond with his land is a concept as old as civilisation, and a mentality that remains to this day.

Ties to the geography of the place where one was raised is fundamental to one's culture in Oman, as the land itself influences the ways inhabitants choose to spend their lives. Leaving aside the nomadic bedouin tribes of those who settled in Oman, one of the great divides in lifestyle lays between those who live on the coasts and enjoy sailing into the unknown, and those who chose to plough and plant, and cultivate the fertile areas of the interiors.

The interior areas of the Sultanate are blessed with farmlands and greenery; the residents of such areas have long dedicated their time and efforts to agricultural activities. Back in the day, they brought unique irrigation systems called "falaj," as well as water rig drilling, animal labour for planting, and even forged their own cultivating tools. Many of the ancient agriculture activities, from tending fruit orchards to harvesting and processing dates, are still widely practised.

Living in the interiors and practising such activities has had a significant affect on the personalities of the people there, and communities they form. Those who live in agricultural areas away from the shore and deep

into the mountains and farmlands of Oman are known for their respect for custom and tradition, and they tend to be more conservative than their seafaring counterparts. As agriculture requires teamwork and cooperation, residents have developed an ingrained sense of friendship and community, with entire villages behaving more like family than neighbours.

The main meeting place in these rural areas are the markets and souqs where trading and commerce often takes a back-seat to the meetings of local dignitaries, poets, and decision-makers meet.

For those looking for a quiet life in a place where tradition is prized over progress and a neighbourly, helping hand is the rule and not the exception, then a move to the interiors should be considered.

Oman's Best Agricultural Interior Areas

There are small shops in nearby Nakhal, and Barka is about 45 minutes to an hour drive.
