Muscat – North Sharqiyah Governor’s Office has announced a tender for development of water bodies in the Maql area of Wadi Bani Khalid in an effort to enhance domestic tourism and provide entertainment options for the public. The initiative is part of a wider agenda to improve infrastructure in the region and enhance local resources and services.

Additionally, tenders have been floated for the redevelopment of the Al Mudayrib Market facade in the wilayat of Al Qabil.
