«Golden Agereal estate»between Saudi Arabia and Oman

Omar Al-Kindi

Economic relations between Saudi Arabia and Oman are undergoing a historic transformation in the real estate sector, with strategic partnerships peaking by the end of 2025.

This «real estate revolution» is being driven by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and the Sultanate of Oman (Oman). <This «real estate revolution» is no longer just business deals, but smart, cross-border urban projects that are reshaping the region's urban landscape. In what has been described as the most notable move of the year, Talaat Moustafa Group (TMG), in partnership with Saudi Arabia's Al Muhaidib Group, announced the launch of major projects in Oman worth up to $5 billion. The projects, led by Joud and Yammal, aim to create an integrated urban experience that will serve more than 1.5 million people by 2030, with a focus on smart cities and sustainability. Oman's Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning has also revealed that it is in advanced negotiations with Saudi real estate developers to invest in large-scale residential and tourism projects in the Sultanate. These moves come to capitalize on Saudi Arabia's extensive experience in building large complexes, and new formal agreements are expected to be in place by May 2026.

The projects are not the only ones in the pipeline. <The Omani real estate market recorded a strong performance by the end of September 2025, as the traded value of sales contracts increased by 13.5% to reach approximately 929 million Omani riyals. The total traded value of real estate in the Sultanate exceeded OMR 2.6 billion by the end of October 2025, driven by a 20.2% growth in sales contracts. This real estate revolution between the two countries is harmoniously integrated and similar, signaling the beginning of the golden age of real estate. For example, we observe Saudi Vision 2030 projects such as Neom and New Square, while on the other hand, we see Oman Vision 2040 projects represented by Sultan Haitham City. Sultan Haitham City is a model for smart cities with an area of 14.8 million square meters, where the Sultanate signed agreements in February and October 2025 to develop integrated residential neighborhoods and futuristic cities that enhance the attractiveness of the sector for Gulf investors. On the other hand, the Rub Al Khali crossing and the road linking the two countries (564 km long) is the vital artery that feeds this revolution as an engine of growth, making real estate investment across borders with minimal logistical costs.

.

Conclusion:

<The Saudi-Omani real estate sector is the result of an unprecedented strategic integration. With low real estate prices in some parts of the Sultanate, Saudi investors see a golden opportunity to expand, making 2025 a springboard for sustainable growth that will continue for decades to come.«

Saudi Oman's real estate sector today is the result of an unprecedented strategic integration.
