Five Reasons To Love

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

V

ibrant, crowded, and undeniably fast, living in Ruwi offers a glimpse into the commercial city life of Muscat. As one of Oman’s oldest business districts, and still its most important, this expat-favourite is located 30-kilometres from Muscat International Airport and is situated between Wadi Kabir, Wadi Adai, Darsait, and the historic waterfront of Muttrah.

Back in the day, Ruwi was known as a concrete jungle, with towering buildings housing banking and other commercial offices. Today, Ruwi is still home to the CBD (central banking district) and important wholesale and retail shopping areas.

1

Those seeking a serene, quiet life in a villa surrounded by wide gardens might find it hard to spend a minute in this part of town, but for city lovers, it is one of the only places in the country where you can enjoy the bustling energy of classic urban living. The area boasts many apartments at some of the most affordable prices in the city, making it a popular choice for those who work in Ruwi. Unlike in other parts of the city, where public transportation can be a challenge, in Ruwi there are many affordable, car-free options for getting around, from buses to walking.

The area features huge buildings in a combination of old and new corporate of-

DIVERSITY

MOVEABLE FEAST

Ruwi is mostly occupied by expats from different parts of Asia, and this factor makes it easy for new expatriates moving to Oman to find friends, learn about other cultures, and share experiences in a busy ‘hood with plenty of public life.

Ruwi has some of the best highend restaurants, as well as iconic, old diners, like Golden Oryx, but what most residents adore is the street food and the snacks sold by little coffee shops, like charcoal-grilled chicken tandoori, fresh parathas, biryanis, and other Indian delicacies.

AFFORDABLE APARTMENTS Given its strategic location amid the business districts, Ruwi is a surprisingly affordable place to rent a flat, with apartments starting as low as OMR200 per month, with larger flats available for around OMR350.

fices, serviced apartments, and hotels, all within a few kilometres of anything a resident could possibly need — public and private schools; banks; clinics; markets; mosques; temples; churches, and the iconic Ruwi High Street, locally known as Souq Ruwi, which is famed for its countless gold shops. Nearby places of interest include the posh, recently re-opened Sheraton Hotel, Mwasalat bus station, Armed Forces Museum, Central Bank of Oman, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, and Lulu Hypermarket.

Property Times had a chat with bank employee, Shazneen, to find out what makes Ruwi a wonderful place to live.

DEAL HUNTING

NEARBY ATTRACTIONS

Shopping is a fun activity in Ruwi, especially along the iconic Ruwi High Street, where shoppers can find everything from shoes and apparel to jewellery, electronics, and home appliances. The price is always negotiable, so battling it out for the best deal has become something of a sport.

One of the perks of living in Ruwi is the close proximity to some of the popular outdoor attractions. Going to Qantab and Sifah is fast and easy, as is heading into Shatti to visit the Qurum Natural Park or beach road. Muttrah is minutes away.

KNOW YOUR WOOD There are many kinds of wood-based panels used for flooring, but here in Oman it is especially important that you choose wood panels that are durable enough to withstand moisture from humidity and direct exposure to sunlight, in addition to suiting the overall design of your home.

Teak Ancho: This exotic wood from Indonesia sports beautiful red and brown tones and is available in the one strip design with a silk matte finish.

Arctic Oak: This French oak is a rustic flooring option that has a white stained look, with numerous variations of the brown palette. The wood has black knots and cracks in a variety of sizes, for more or less rustic feels.

STYLE WARS

A NATURAL TOUCH STORY ASMAA AL BALUSHI AND SALIM AL AFIFI

W

e often find home floors replete with precious marbles, stones, and ceramics from doorsteps to hallways, though these floor decorations sport exotic details, they still lack the rustic, natural feel and warmth that the tones of wood add to a your living space, not to mention the classic vibes that comes along with it. Wooden flooring options range from highly polished woods, to glossy finishes, to grainy and rustic stripes, to more out-ofthe-woods designs. Here in Oman, wooden flooring is less common, as wood is admittedly more expensive, but for those who love bringing a touch of nature into their homes in a luxurious way, there is no substitute.

There are many designs and shapes that can be executed on wooden panels, some installations may be simple using hand-made techniques, while others involve complex methods that require laser machines, either way, the outcome is undeniably astonishing.

The use of modern technology aids in giving a finite accuracy in the implementation process, creating an aesthetically pleasing rhythm of wooden surfaces.

What perfect place to put an exotic, wooden floor you ask? Most spaces work perfectly fine with woods, you can alter your very own house into a classic, western-inspired oak-

filled house, and the best part is, there are endless options of wooden designs to choose from, and here is where your own interior decoration taste comes to play. Other places that usually sport a wooden floor include hotels, museums, galleries, restaurants, and shopping malls, and all the aforementioned places are fantastic spots for inspiration and ideas on these naturally adorned surfaces.

If having your entire house covered in wood is a bit too much for your taste, you can always opt for adding these rustic touches in specific areas of your home, and that is to complement the overall ambiance of that place. Common areas include the interior or exterior entrance of your home, living rooms, bedrooms, corridors, and terraces.

Another way of incorporating wood-onthe-floor decor is by adding unique decorative shapes onto the floor, they can be in circular design, or in a few squares, for this type of art you have to go big and place an eye-catching wooden art, otherwise it will go un-noticed.

Installing these floors in your bedroom will surely contribute to the ambiance, all woods bring warmth and comfort to one's space, but when it comes to mood and taste, the tones are the heroes. As you decide on your wood, explore all the options available, do you like dark tones or you're more of a bright colour kind of a person? Do you like

reflective surfaces, or do you appreciate nature's rustic finish? All these questions must be answered before picking the perfect flooring option.

Unlike carpeted floors, wooden ones have fewer health-endangering issues, especially for those allergic to dust and fur, and it's also known for being a long-lasting investment with phenomenal durability and quality, which can adorn your house for many years.

All these factors put this type of flooring atop many interior designers' lists.

Living in a wooden space can bring nature's atmosphere and scent into your life.

If you are considering going with wood, we have pulled together a few things to consider.

–lifestyle@timesofoman.com WOOD FLOOR VENDORS IN OMAN There are a few companies who specialise in wood flooring here in Oman. They can help you find the right wood-style for your home and oversee installation.

Kährs (Mutrah Shipping & Trading Agency) Location: Al Khuwair, Muscat Contact: +968 2447 7800 Al Khalili Buildex Location: Oman Avenues Mall, Bousher Contact : +968 2206 3942

Chevron Dark: This dark brown wood originated in Greece and France and features a unique ‘v’ shape in its design that adds modern class to a space. Hand-cut planks feature cracks and knots that add beautiful texture to modern-rustic homes.

Maison Oak: Soft beige-coloured planks have medium grains in shades of grey, for an old-world European feel to match its origin.

Black Silver: From the ash family of wood, this high gloss, reflective wood pattern is famous for its elegant black colour accented with silver, metallic grains.

WOOD FLOOR MAINTENANCE To maintain the beauty of your wooden floors, they must be cared for regularly.

Dusting: Wood flooring accumulates dust, and it must be removed weekly using a soft dry mop to avoid scratching the surfaces.

Spot Cleaning: Harsh cleaners should not be used on the wood, it can be wiped-down with a damp towel or a specialised cleaning product like Pinesole can be used.
