Work is moving at a steady pace on Oman’s longest zipline - running from the top of a mountain to Atana Khasab Hotel in Musandam region - with the project already 65% completed, reported Muscat Daily citing a senior tourism ministry official.
"This project is a distinctive addition to the adventure tourism infrastructure for Musandam and hence we are working on the speedy completion of the 1,800-m-long zipline project. It is likely to be operational in Q4 of 2022," said Nofal bin Mohammad Al Kamzari, the Assistant Director, Heritage and Tourism Department in Musandam Governorate.
Al Kamzari said already the work on the road leading to the zipline site has been completed.
Talking of other tourism projects in the governorate, he said the ministry had inspected many sites in the Wilayat of Madha in order to develop a plan for the establishment of mini-tourist oases.
The ministry has also signed usufruct contracts for the establishment of three hotels, two in the wilayat of Bukha and another in the wilayat of Madha to increase the number of hotel rooms in Musandam and attract tourists, he added.
