Carillion Alawi constructed the complex on an undeveloped site adjacent to the sea. It is a self-contained resort situated 12 km to the southeast of Muscat.

With a spectacular mountain setting, the total land area under development was 230,000 square metres. All buildings are low-rise to complement the landscape and are in the local Arabian architectural style. Initially, the site was only accessible by sea with our construction team, materials, and equipment transported by boat from a purpose-made jetty.
