857-km final phase of Oman's longest dual carriageway begins
Oman has commenced the final construction phases of the dualisation of Sultan Said bin Taimour Road, a strategic highway that, once completed, will become the longest dual carriageway in the country. The road stretches from Oman's central desert to the southern Governorate of Dhofar and plays a vital role in enhancing national connectivity, economic integration and transport safety. The Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology confirmed the start of construction on the third, fourth and fifth phases of the project. These segments span approximately 400 km and are being developed at a cost of over RO 258 million ($670m). The construction period for the three phases is expected to be 36 months. According to Said bin Mohammed Tabook, Director-General of Roads and Land Transport in Dhofar Governorate, the three sections will significantly improve travel efficiency between the central and southern regions of the country. He explained that phase three extends from the Wilayat of Haima to the Wilayat of Muqshin and covers 132.5 km. Phase four begins in Muqshin and continues to the area of Dawkah, adding another 135 km. Phase five then links Dawkah to the Wilayat of Thumrait, also with a length of 132.5 km. These final phases are part of a broader national infrastructure initiative to upgrade the Sultan Said bin Taimour Road to a dual carriageway, eventually bringing its total length to approximately 857 kilometres. This makes it the longest dual road in the country, serving as a critical transport corridor for both passenger vehicles and commercial freight, particularly during the annual khareef season when Dhofar sees a significant influx of domestic and regional tourists. The project is being implemented by a consortium of companies that includes both Omani and Saudi partners. The road has been designed to withstand Oman's variable desert climate, ensuring accessibility throughout the year. Eng Tabook stated that the road is not merely an infrastructure upgrade but a national integration project. He noted that it would significantly boost economic development by supporting the movement of goods and people across the country. The highway is also expected to facilitate overland logistics from Salalah Port and energy zones in the south to the industrial and commercial centres of the interior and northern Oman. The upgraded road will also improve access to remote communities in the governorates of Al Wusta and Dhofar, contributing to broader goals of economic inclusion and sustainable development. With more efficient transport links, Oman's southern governorate is positioned to emerge as a logistics and energy hub connecting the Arabian Sea to Gulf markets and beyond.

Omani industrial exports to Saudi Arabia surge to RO 1.618 billion
MUSCAT: Omani industrial exports rose by 8.6 per cent year-on-year during the first quarter of 2025, reaching RO 1.618 billion, up from RO 1.49 billion in the same period of 2024. According to data released by the National Centre for Statistics and Information (NCSI) in May, the growth reflects the Sultanate of Oman's strengthening industrial footprint in regional markets, particularly Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia saw a 28.3 per cent increase in imports of Omani industrial goods, reaching RO 259 million—highlighting the deepening economic ties and rising demand for Omani products in the Kingdom. Nasra bint Sultan al Habsi, Director General of Trade at the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion, attributed the growth to the efforts of the Economy, Trade and Industry Committee under the Omani-Saudi Coordination Council. "This committee has focused on easing trade barriers, harmonising customs procedures, enhancing border transit, and digitally linking the two countries' trade systems," she explained. A key development has been the use of the Rub' al-Khali border crossing, now a vital commercial artery facilitating the smooth flow of goods and services between the two nations. The committee is also advancing cooperation in areas such as intellectual property, e-commerce, competition, and export development. Nasra noted that Saudi Arabia is now Oman's second-largest trading partner within the Gulf region. She emphasised Oman's openness to increased Saudi investment, especially in special economic and free zones that offer state-of-the-art infrastructure and attractive incentives—aligned with Oman Vision 2040 and Saudi Vision 2030. Mazen bin Humaid al Siyabi, Assistant Director General at the Directorate General of Industry, noted that there has been marked progress in industrial cooperation between the two countries, with joint meetings, workshops, and investor engagements intensifying over the past year. He said that 'priority sectors such as advanced manufacturing, technology, and supply chains have seen notable growth in collaboration, laying the groundwork for industrial integration and shared innovation.' The Ministry's focus on diversifying markets, boosting productivity, and enhancing competitiveness is bearing fruit, he added, positioning Oman's industrial sector as a key driver of economic diversification. — ONA

Oman's industrial exports rise 8.6% to over RO1.6bn in Q1
Muscat – Oman's industrial exports rose sharply by 8.6% during the first quarter of 2025, reaching RO1.618bn, compared to RO1.49bn during the same period in 2024, according to the latest statistics released by the National Centre for Statistics and Information (NCSI). The NCSI data indicated that Omani industrial exports have experienced significant expansion across several regional markets, reflecting the growing presence of Oman's industrial sector on the regional trade map. Saudi Arabia recorded a robust 28.3% increase in its imports of Omani industrial products, reaching RO259mn – highlighting the strong economic ties between the two countries and the increasing demand for Omani goods in the Saudi market. In a statement to the Oman News Agency, Mazin bin Humaid al Siyabi, Assistant Director General of the Directorate General of Industry at the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion, explained that the rapid growth in Omani industrial exports in recent months represents tangible evidence of the success of the ministry's industrial policies. 'These policies focus on diversifying export markets, improving production efficiency, enhancing the competitiveness of Omani products, achieving economic diversification goals, and building a resilient industrial base capable of adapting to global changes,' he said. Commenting on the growing trade between Oman and Saudi Arabia, Nasra bint Sultan al Habsi, Director General of Trade at the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion, stated that the rise in trade between the two countries is a direct result of sustained bilateral cooperation and reflects the increasing economic integration across various sectors. She explained that the Economy, Trade and Industry Committee, an offshoot of the Omani-Saudi Coordination Council, has been committed, since its inception, to addressing trade-related challenges, standardising customs procedures, facilitating land transit at border crossings, and electronically linking the trade systems of both countries. 'These efforts have significantly contributed to improving the flow of goods and services and boosting commercial traffic through the Rub' al-Khali border crossing, which has become one of the key emerging arteries of trade between the two nations.' Nasra added that Saudi Arabia has become Oman's second-largest trading partner in the Gulf, amid rising aspirations for deeper industrial and commercial integration in the near future. She noted that Oman welcomes increased Saudi investment, particularly in special economic zones and free zones, which offer advanced infrastructure and competitive investment incentives. This is in line with the alignment of the strategic objectives of Oman Vision 2040 and Saudi Vision 2030. Siyabi highlighted that recent months have seen increased momentum in coordination and engagement between industrial sector officials in both countries. This has been reflected in a series of meetings, mutual visits, specialised workshops, and networking events for investors and entrepreneurs. He added that these initiatives have directly contributed to expanding areas of industrial cooperation, particularly in priority sectors such as manufacturing, advanced technologies, and supply chains. He pointed out that this new dynamism in industrial relations reflects the alignment of strategic visions between Oman and Saudi Arabia, adding that the shared emphasis on developing the industrial sector as a cornerstone of economic diversification is a promising strategy – one whose results are already evident in the growth of Omani industrial exports to Saudi Arabia and other regional markets.
