Oman has invited bids from local firms for the development of Silver Jubilee Park at Sohar, a major tourist attraction for the sultanate featuring an open park with a lot of green spaces and picturesque water bodies, said a report.

 

The tenders, issued by the Office of the Governor of North Batinah, are exclusively for Omani companies, in a major boost to the domestic tourism sector and in line with the Oman Vision 2040 which promotes utilisation of public land for investment purposes, reported Muscat Daily. 

 

The Silver Jubilee Public Park is a very good place for walking and sports, and there are also some free areas for children to play, as well as the opportunity to ride and enjoy water bikes, it stated.

 

The park with its natural scenic settings is an ideal place for people to unwind – taking a break from their hectic city life, said the report.

 

The deadline for submitting the bids has been set at February 12, 2023.

 

Apart from the Silver Jubilee Park, which will boast new facilities once complete, Sohar Municipality is working on to develop other parks in the city with modern facilities.
