Five Reasons To Love

Airport Heights STORY SALIM AL AFIFI AND ASMAA AL BALUSHI | PHOTOGRAPHY JUN ESTRADA

A

irport Heights is an area tucked between the busy industrial district of Ghala, the mountainous Al Ansab neighbourhood, and the bustling residential area of Al Mawaleh. And, as the name would suggest, the area is conveniently located around five to ten minutes from the airport.

Set on the open, hilly, near-empty land between Sultan Qaboos Highway and the Expressway, Airport Heights is home to commercial, ministerial, and police-associated buildings, including the Ministry of Manpower, the Ministry of Higher Education, and the Ministry of Legal Affairs, along with the headquarters of Bank Muscat and Oman Air.

1

Other places of interest include the Hormuz Grand Hotel, the Golden Tulip, Oman International Exhibition Centre, Muscat Track Cycling Club, and Royal Flight School. Not to mention it is quickly becoming an education hub with Caledonian College of Engineering, Mazoon University College, and Al Zahara College for Women among its educational establishments.

When it comes to residential, Muscat Hills, one of the most sought-after freehold integrated community complexes in Oman, offers spacious, modern villas, which both locals and expatriates can purchase, that are also on offer as rentals, starting at around OMR700 per month. The complex is

2

famed for the enormous Muscat Golf and Country Club, and is currently in the process of adding more work-live-retail spaces as it continues to develop and grow.

Aside from Muscat Hills, Airport Heights is a new residential area which is poised to grow leaps and bounds with new residential and commercial building under construction and the eagerly anticipated The Boulevard shopping destination at Muscat Hills nearly complete.

Property Times spoke with resident, Joe Morrison, a former British sports broadcaster, about why he chose to make Airport Heights home.

QUIET, YET CONNECTED

EASY ESCAPES

THE CLUB

AT THE CROSSROADS

WINTER STAR GAZING

My place is in the city, totally accessible to shopping, amenities, and the beach and marina at The Wave, but it is off the route enough to offers a quiet atmosphere, which is a major plus.

As the name suggests, it’s super close to the airport, which makes it a mostwanted ‘hood for expats and frequent travellers, like myself. Even with traffic, it’s less than 15 minutes away.

I love golf, and it's becoming quite popular here in Oman, with locals and expats spending their noontimes hitting the greens. I enjoy having a worldclass course in my backyard.

Airport Heights is strategically located with easy access to both the Expressway and Sultan Qaboos, giving me several options for my morning commute to Ruwi, about 30 minutes away.

In the cooler months, my neighbourhood is a gathering hot spot for friends and families. We love to meet at The Club, then go and have a BBQ and campfires in the surrounding hills.

Add A Little Green STORY ASMAA AL BALUSHI AND SALIM AL AFIFI

A

dose of green in your yard or inside your home instantly lends a more soothing, natural ambiance, even to the most urban locations. `Designing a simple garden with a variety of leafy plants and fresh flowers is not only a great way to give life to a cementand concrete dwelling for a more mentally healthy living space, it also has physical health benefits, as plants naturally cleanse the air around them. And, let's face it, a space with creatively gardened plants, flowers, and ornaments made of environment-friendly materials, makes for the best place in the world to spend the afternoon with a book and a cup of tea. It doesn't have to cost a fortune or require the hiring of landscape architects. Here are a few simple, affordable ways to add some green to your life.

MAKE YOUR OWN STARTER GARDEN Pick a Theme and Make a Plan Gardening is a fun activity that requires a bit of planning before diving into it. Ask yourself: Are you a fan of exotic plants? Do you prefer leafy plants that have long roots, which can crawl on walls? Are you hoping for a tropical oasis-look or a French garden? Once you decide which elements are most important to you, make a wish list of your plans, and start with one or two, adding as you go along and seeing which plants work in this environment.

Mix and Match Try to get a good mix of plants. Experiment with edibles, like herbs and tomato vines, larger, leafy green bushes, and flowers to see which ones work in your particular space. We live in a hot climate, and the plants that will be happy in your yard will depend heavily on the amount of sun and distance from the sea, so play around with small plants before making the final decision.

Use "Custom" Pots and Planter Boxes Rather than digging up your yard from the get-go, buy inexpensive pots and planter boxes and paint them to suit your design. Even small trees can be planted in pots (they can always be transferred to the ground later). If you live in an apartment, you can keep small planters on your balcony or near the windows.

Keep Gardening Keep gardening and experimenting with new plants that you find beautiful or interesting. Be sure to cut out any old, dried leaves to make room for new ones to grow.

Taking care of plants is crucial, so be sure to water regularly and protect your garden from insects by planning and scheduling a pest control service.

BEST PLANTS AND FLOWERS FOR HOME GARDENING

garden as they grow quickly when happy. They can be sensitive to direct sunlight, so experiment with different areas of the yard until you find the most appropriate place for your planter. Add the tender leaves to your salads and pasta dishes.

Neem Tree Known locally as ‘shreesh’, this is a common plant adored by many locals in Oman, as it can handle any weather condition this desert country throws at it. It grows tall and is beloved as a shade tree, and its leaves and bark are said to have medicinal qualities.

Lemon Tree A lovely tree with citrus-scented leaves and flowers, all you need for this hearty, heat-loving bush is a large pot and a little bit of compost. Lemon Tree

Leafy Plants Take a stroll through the garden shops in Seeb and select a few long-leaved, medium-sized plants to fill in gaps in your garden and to add that lush, forest feel. Be sure to ask if the plant is an indoor or outdoor variety.

Basil, Mint, and Other Herbs Fragrant and delicious, these herbs are easy plants to

Flowers Available in many shapes and colours, fragrant, lovely

flowers are the most popular item to garden, and they can be tricky as many varieties are delicate. Some flowers are perennial, meaning they will come back on their own each year, while annual varieties have a life cycle of only one year. Desert rose (adenium) produces pink flowers from late winter through the summer. It needs a lot of sunshine and very little water, making it a popular choice here. Gardenia, dark, leafy bushes that produce aromatic large, white flowers, grow best in pots in shaded areas that only are subjected to a few hours of direct sun each day.

They must be protected from the wind and watered daily, while ensuring the pot is well drained to avoid "drowning" the plant. Regular trimming and removal of the wilting flowers will help to promote new growth. Periwinkle flowers are some of the easiest to grow in this region. Happy in pots, the plants thrive in direct sunlight, but will also get by in the shade.

The more you care for the plant through pruning and regular watering, the more flowers will appear.
