Five Reasons To Love

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

A

l Ansab is divided into two areas: Old Al Ansab, which is located between Sultan Qaboos Road and the Muscat Expressway, boasting all manner of facilities and amenities, but is also more crowded with villas, shops, and apartments; and New Al Ansab, which is situated nearer to the Expressway in a calm, rural area amid the hills, extending back towards the mountains that has less to offer when it comes to city conveniences.

1

Both areas feature modern villas situated on hilly grounds, built in striking architectural styles, and it’s becoming a hub for investors, developments such as Haya Water Laboratory, and serviced apartments.

The entire area is expanding with bank services, schools, clinics, hypermarkets, and given that this neighbourhood (both "old" and "new") only recently developed, there is considerably less noise and pollution there than one might find in older, neighbouring towns, like well-established Ghala.

2

3

AFFORDABLE RENTS

PEACEFUL AMBIANCE

Al Ansab has a growing number of new buildings with modern amenities that come at affordable prices, with flat rentals starting at OMR250, and villas around OMR400.

The vast amount of open space, quiet nights, and wide selection of properties with mountain and hillside views, make it an oasis of calm.

EXPRESSWAYS TO EVERYTHING Al Ansab's close proximity to the Muscat Expressway makes it accessible from all areas of the city, including far-flung neighbourhoods from Al Khoudh to Ruwi.

There’s not much in the way of entertainment or noteable sights nearby, aside from birdwatching in Al Ansab Wetlands, a military shooting range, and the Royal Air Force base. However, the Muscat Expressway connects Al Ansab to urban centres like Ghubra, Qurum, and Al Khuwair in 20-30 minutes.

Property Times had a chat with Nasser bin Salim, an employee at a petroleum company, to find out why he loves living in Al Ansab.

—lifestyle@timesofoman.com

4 THE ON-HILL-FACTOR The area is literally located on a hill, which is a unique neighbourhood feature in Muscat.

The villas on the hillsides are extremely high, which is safer during flooding, and also offers spectacular views.

5 CLOSE PROXIMITY TO AIRPORT It’s a super-quick, traffic-free drive to Muscat International Airport, which is a boon for many local and expat residents who travel frequently.

NEIGHBOURHOOD GEMS

The Coastal Life STORY ASMAA AL BALUSHI AND SALIM AL AFIFI

T

here isn’t a bond as strong as the one made between a man and his place; it has a great influence on his culture, behaviour, and most importantly his lifestyle. There are those who created a strong bond with the ocean ages ago, and lived by the sea, blessed with star-gazing moments and mingling with the fish while enjoying the raw, oceanic smell in the air.

Fishing and making fishing nets was once the main activity for those who lived by the coastal line, and until today, some parts of Oman such as Sur and Seeb continue to practice this and other traditional fishery professions. Ships manufacturing was another significant activity as Omanis used to build their boats using hand-carved wood. This activity has faded with the arrival of modern technology, aside from the dhow factories in Sur, which make the ships more for art than for seafaring.

Back in the day, living in coastal areas had more than just romantic or economic appeal, as

it served as a crossroads for various cultures and ideas, thanks to maritime trade. Thus, the inhabitants of such areas were known for having an open, curious cultural and more worldly civilisation, thanks to the fact that they used to meet and mingle with people from around the globe. In those days of seafaring and adventure, the most important cultural centres were the numerous seaside cafes and restaurants, where traders would gather to share their news. Nowadays, residents still flock to such places, though more often to catch up with a friend over coffee than for an informal community meeting.

But the mentality of coastal residents, known for being open-minded, valuing strong leadership and teamwork, are still evident in the Omani fishermen and their families to this day. So, the coastal villages of Oman offer a different sort of lifestyle, with neighbours who still have a sense of community and curiosity, and views of the teeming sea that are nothing short of inspirational.

—lifestyle@timesofoman.com

Great Coastal Areas to Live In • Seeb: Close and commutable to Muscat, but this area retains its traditional marine feel.

• Sur: Roughly two hours south of Muscat, Sur is quickly developing and growing. It features modern amenities like hypermarkets and cinemas, but with a laid-back, beachtown vibe.

• Sifa: 45 minutes south of Muscat, by land or by sea, there is a brand new community of luxury villas under construction around the Sifawy Resort in Jebel Sifah, right next door to the small, traditional fishing village.

• Muttrah: Though there are very few apartments to be found in this ancient area, that may soon change as investors buy up the old buildings and renovate them in hopes of cashing in on the new port improvement project that is sure to draw more tourists and residents to the most important coastal area in the capital. Thankfully, many of the original families of the traders still reside there, keeping the spirit of the place intact.
