Sultan Haitham City is Oman's flagship next-generation urban development — a 14.8 sq km master-planned smart city in the Halban area west of Seeb, designed for an eventual population of around 100,000 residents and built around green infrastructure, walkable neighbourhoods and a balanced mix of residential, commercial and civic zones. Developed under the umbrella of OMRAN Group as part of Oman Vision 2040, the city is positioned as the country's model for sustainable, connected modern living: cycling routes, renewable energy systems, integrated public transport, and freehold-eligible residential districts that welcome buyers of any nationality. Hay Al Wafaa, a one-million-sqm community by Al Abrar Real Estate, is one of the city's headline residential neighbourhoods.
