Mooring Buoys Campaign:
Muriya Tourism Development Company (Muriya) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Environment Society of Oman (ESO) on 1st September, 2008 to support ESO’s Mooring Buoys Campaign by providing a donation to manufacture and thus playing a major role in the deployment of twelve mooring buoys in certain areas across Oman.
Establishing Hotel School in Oman:
Muriya has established an International Hotel School in January 2010, with 50% partnership with Omran. This school will serve the purpose of training and eventually providing employment to the local Omani youth. The school will serve the increasing requirements of the local market and to expand the hotel services to new height and opportunity in the tourism sector.
Recycling Plant project:
Muriya has established a new company under the name of “Muriya for Recycling and Services L.L.C.” The recycling plant will be installed at Bidiya for recycling the garbage collected from Eastern Sands dessert area.
Clinics on Sifah & Salalah sites:
We have signed contracts with Babylon Medical Centre and Liya Medical Complex to start and operate clinics at our Sifah & Salalah sites respectively. These clinics serve workers at our sites as well as the local people. Moreover we are in the process of buying an ambulance to serve Sifah site and the local people of Sifah village since the nearest hospital is thirty minutes away.
Rebuilding Sifah Mosque:
We were informed that the mosque in Sifah village is a safety hazard and needs to be dealt with. Hence, we took an initiative to demolish and rebuild the mosque. Muriya will bear all the cost related to this task as a contribution in this noble cause.
Small projects to support the local community:
We established a supermarket, a bakery and a fish shop on Sifah site to be operated by the local people who will get all the revenues generated by it. Similar projects will be done at Salalah site and we have started with supermarket already.
Sifah open beach for public:
The Ministry of Tourism, in collaboration with Muriya Tourism Development Company, launched 480 meters of public beach with facilities for the local community of Sifah. A total of 85,000 square meters has been developed by Muriya that includes planting 100 palm trees, setting up of shaded areas, showers, toilets, parking spaces and a fish restaurant.
Renovation, maintenance & operation of Sifah Citadel:
In cooperation with the Ministry of Heritage and Culture, we have undertaken a project of renovating a citadel in Sifah which in turn will be maintained and operated by Muriya and will be used for our events.
