The Ministry has commissioned the development of three mountain trails, aiming to boost the region’s appeal to tourists. Specialized local companies will undertake the project, creating opportunities for nature enthusiasts to explore the stunning landscapes of Dhofar.

Adventure tourism in Oman continues to gain popularity, with Dhofar offering a unique combination of mountainous terrain and lush environments. This region is an ideal destination for those seeking outdoor activities such as hiking, trekking, and exploring natural wonders. Developing the mountain trails will not only draw more visitors but also provide an exciting, immersive experience for those seeking adventure tourism in Dhofar.

The three mountain trails will be designed to international standards, ensuring safety while highlighting the natural beauty of the area. Local companies specializing in adventure tourism will be responsible for constructing the trails. These companies will bring their expertise to the project, ensuring that visitors can experience the region’s landscapes in a safe and enjoyable way.

Additionally, the initiative aligns with Oman’s long-term strategy to diversify its tourism offerings. By developing adventure tourism in Dhofar, the government hopes to create more job opportunities and stimulate economic growth in the region. As tourists flock to Dhofar to explore the trails, they will also contribute to local businesses, further driving economic benefits.

Furthermore, sustainability will play a key role in the development process. The Ministry of Heritage and Tourism emphasizes environmental preservation, making sure that the trails will have minimal impact on the region’s delicate ecosystems. The goal is to protect the area’s natural beauty while fostering tourism in a responsible and sustainable manner.

Ultimately, these mountain trails represent an exciting new chapter for adventure tourism in Dhofar.
