Muscat Governorate has become Oman's first smart city, with a total area of 14 million square meters. The project, named Madinat Sultan Haitham, is a model for future cities in the Sultanate.

The city constitutes an attractive and enhanced destination for investment, and a qualitative leap in urban design and urban planning, in line with the vision of "Oman 2040" The city is characterized by several features, perhaps the most prominent of which is a network of roads that allows multiple options for access from one place to another.
