Al Amerat, situated just behind Bausher mountain, was once an empty expanse. But now the valley is full of traditionally inspired villas, new commercial buildings, fertile agricultural villages, and even some touristic attractions, like the park where the annual Muscat Festival is held, and Wadi Assareen, a famous animal sanctuary that protects gazelles, mules, and rare wild animals.
The neighbourhood of approximately 70 thousand residents is undergoing major urban expansion, and with vast spaces yet to be developed along with low land rates, it is a popular place for locals to build their new homes and to start businesses, like Yaqoub bin Masoud Al Mabsaly, General Manager of Golden Poultry, who has lived in the area for over two-decades, and has seen the transformation first-hand.
He explained that the newest wave of residents are families, who are drawn by new residential buildings that feature amenities like elevators and reasonable prices with average rental prices around OMR 200 and villas typically selling for no more than OMR 30,000.
The area itself has fantastic infrastructure, with newly developed roads connecting the valley to Bausher, Al Khuwair, and Qurum via the Aqabat Baushar — a hilly road through the mountains that used to separate Al Amerat and Baushar, as well as the brand new road to Al Sharqiyah that makes travel to southern cities like Quriyat and Sur fast and easy. There are currently hypermarkets, coffee shops, and all the usual necessities available, and new businesses are opening all the time. For a tranquil, affordable family life, Al Amerat reigns supreme.
