Eco-Tourism in Oman: Visit the Stunning Wakan Village

The development of Wakan Village aims to boost eco-tourism in Oman. On Sunday, the committee responsible for its development held a meeting to review the latest updates. Eng. Masoud Said Al Hashimi, Governor of South Al Batinah, chaired the meeting. During the meeting, the committee discussed key topics such as road access, water supplies, and various tourism projects, including guest houses and mountain trails.

Wakan Village has become a focal point for Oman’s tourism department. Its stunning natural beauty and scenic views make it a top destination for tourists. As a result, visitors from across Oman and other countries are drawn to the village’s unique landscape and peaceful atmosphere.

Located about 2,000 meters above sea level, Wakan Village is roughly 150 kilometers from Muscat. The road to the village winds through valleys, requiring four-wheel-drive vehicles. This challenging route, however, adds to the village’s appeal, making it a must-visit spot for adventure enthusiasts.

The development project’s goal is to improve Wakan’s tourism infrastructure. Specifically, the project focuses on enhancing the road network, improving water supply, and introducing eco-friendly hospitality services. Additionally, the addition of mountain trails and other tourism-related facilities will also help promote the village as a sustainable travel destination.

The project aims to establish Wakan as a top eco-tourism destination in Oman. By improving access and providing eco-friendly services, it will help support the local tourism sector. In the long run, the development ensures that Wakan remains a beautiful and sustainable destination for years to come.

In conclusion, the Wakan Village development project will help promote eco-tourism in Oman. By upgrading infrastructure and focusing on sustainability, the project will make Wakan a leading eco-tourism destination. This initiative, therefore, plays a key role in supporting Oman’s growing tourism sector and preserving the village’s natural beauty.
