Muscat – The ambitious metro network will span approximately 50 kilometres, connecting the burgeoning Sultan Haitham City with the central business hub of Ruwi. The route is strategically designed to incorporate around 36 stations, providing crucial links to key areas including Muscat International Airport, the Ghala commercial district, and the vibrant city center of Al Khuwair.
