The Future
Most Americans are familiar with The Palm Islands of Dubai. The Palm started with a vision and a simple rendering, despite huge challenges, the vision came true. Dubai became one of the world’s top tourist destinations and one of most expensive real estate markets in the world.
THE PALM
THE PALM
The Omagine Project – and its Pearls – has the potential to become the next major tourism destination and one of the most highly desired real estate markets. Muscat could become the next hot destination for the tourists around the world.

Timing and Location is Everything!
The timing couldn’t be better for Chinese investors. The Stock Market in China down sharply and the Chinese economy slowing down considerably. Chinese investors looking for an alternative, discovered Dubai. Investors from China are flocking to Dubai. Huge demand from investors is driving up real estate prices in Dubai and the cost of living and doing business in Dubai has increased dramatically.
We believe, The Omagine Project (Muscat) offers the next great opportunity for investors and Global corporations doing business in the Middle East. Muscat’s low cost of living and cheaper office space offers a better ROI.
The Pearls (Muscat) expected to meet or exceed the lifestyle choice and luxury for less. It’s a great opportunity for Global corporations to establish their MENA headquarters in Muscat. Also, a unique opportunity for accredited investors seeking to diversify their portfolios.

$2.5 billion Omagine pearl project set for 2017 in Oman
July 12, 2016

Muscat: Construction work on the multi-billion dollar Omagine Project is scheduled to begin in 2017 and should be complete by 2024, according to the Ministry of Tourism (MoT).
Located in Seeb, the project features seven pearl-shaped buildings which will host hotels, offices, residences and entertainment venues on one million square metres of land, the MoT said.
The project is expected to create more than 1,000 jobs for nationals when it is completed in seven year’s time. The slump in global oil prices has meant project managers have been seeking further funding globally, according to Omagine chairman Frank J. Drohan.
Speaking to Times of Oman, Drohan said that they are in advanced discussions with several institutional and private entities in the United States, Europe and China to finance the project as a quite rational response to the present regional banking environment. “Other companies and governments regionally are quite rationally also reaching out to the international financial markets,” he said.
Drohan said that the longer term project finance is needed only after the detailed master planning and architectural design is completed. “And that is the reason we are working hard on many fronts with Consolidated Contractors Co (CCC) and other investors in Oman and the GCC, Europe, the US and China to make that happen,” he said.
It was in October 2014, Omagine LLC, signed a development agreement with the Government of Oman for the development of a $2.5 billion real-estate and tourism project known as the Omagine Project.
In March 2015 the Ministry of Finance in Oman ratified the development agreement. In July 2015 the development rights to the 245 acres of beachfront land were registered with the government of Oman. In May, Omagine Inc. also sponsored The World Summit on Innovation & Entrepreneurship (WSIE) at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City.
The Omagine Project will have three hotels (which will include serviced apartments and chalets), a boutique mall, an open air amphitheatre, exhibition venues, a harbour and marina area, offices, more than 2,000 residences and a large number of cafes, restaurants and entertainment venues. The Omagine Project will have seven pearl shaped buildings, each with a different theme, such as the Oman Pearl, Innovation Pearl, Energy Pearl, Culture Pearl and Earth, Sea and Sky Pearls.
The Pearls will feature a wide range of tourism experiences, simulations, games, interactive demonstrations, multi-media presentations and a planetarium and a multiplex.
