LOW COST OPTIONS

ACCESSIBLE & CLOSE
BUT NOT TOO CLOSE
FAMILY FEEL
Properties in Al Amerat are considerably cheaper than most other neighborhoods in Muscat, with average rental prices around OMR 200 and purchase prices that top-out around OMR 30,000
There are already hypermarkets, shops, restaurants, parks, hospitals and clinics, public schools, mosques, and a burst of new projects will continue to add value to this neighbourhood.
Ideally located a mere 25 minutes from both Al Khuwair and Ruwi, thanks to good freeway access, it is easy to access neighborhoods in both northern and southern Muscat from Al Amerat.
Despite being 20 minutes over the mountain from Bousher, spacious lands cloistered between towering mountains, make Al Amerat feel remote and tranquil.
Al Amerat’s affordability, accessibility, convenient hypermarkets, clinics, mosques, schools, and lovely parks have drawn families with children, giving it a wholesome, family-friendly feel.

The area itself has fantastic infrastructure, with newly developed roads connecting the valley to Bousher, Al Khuwair, and Qurm via the Aqabat Boushar—a hilly road through the mountains that used to separate Alamerat and Boushar, as well as the brand new road to Al Sharqiya that makes travel to southern cities like Qurayat and Sur fast and easy. There are currently hypermarkets, coffee shops, and all the usual necessities available, and new businesses are opening all the time. For a tranquil, affordable family life, Al Amerat reigns supreme. —salim@timesofoman.com
with low land rates, it is a popular place for locals to build their new homes and to start businesses, like Yaqoub Bin Masoud Al Mabsaly, General Manager of Golden Poultry, who has lived in the area for over two-decades, and has seen the transformation first-hand. He explained that the newest wave of residents are families, who are drawn by new residential buildings that feature amenities like elevators and reasonable prices with average rental prices around OMR 200 and villas typically selling for no more than OMR 30,000.
l Amerat, situated just behind Bousher mountain, was once an empty expanse. But now the valley is full of traditionally inspired villas, new commercial buildings, fertile agricultural villages, and even some touristic attractions, like the park where the annual Muscat Festival is held, and Wadi Assareen, a famous animal sanctuary that protects gazelles, mules, and rare wild animals. The neighbourhood of approximately 70 thousand residents is undergoing major urban expansion, and with vast spaces yet to be developed along

New Urban Living in Seeb Property Times chats with ERA Real Estate COO Ismail Kamel about what makes The Pearl Muscat such a gem of a project. Where is The Pearl Muscat Located? The Pearl Muscat project is located in Seeb in the boulevard area currently being developed by Muscat Hills Golf & Country Club adjacent to Muscat Hills in Madinat Al Irfan, near to the Bank Muscat head office and Seeb International Airport. What sets The Pearl apart from other flats in Muscat? The design. We took everything into consideration, from creating constant air flow around the building and internal blocks to prevent heat choke in the summer, to ensuring plentiful natural night, to the use of superior finishes and luxurious fittings. And despite being a mixed-use building, we ensured that there will be no interference from ground floor commercial area customers and visitors and residents, who will enjoy exclusive amenities. What is your favourite building amenity? The fitness facilities, which include separate swimming pools for kids and adults and a jogging track in and around swimming pool areas. What is your favourite feature of the flats themselves? Again it comes down to design. The flats have wellplanned layouts allowing for proper furniture and fittings, and high-end finishes like bigger two leaf wooden doors, superior in-built white kitchen appliances including the fridge, dishwasher, and microwave oven. And the superb view that the tenants will enjoy is spectacular. Who did you have in mind when you built The Pearl? We imagined a diverse clientele, considering all nationalities and types of people, which is why we have 44 different flat options available for everyone from young, first-time buyers to larger families.
