Oman’s caves will soon receive greater attention under the National Programme for Enhancing Economic Diversification (Tanfeedh) tourism initiative, according to ONA.
The Sahour Cave in Dhofar, Majlis Al Jinn in Quriyat and Al Kitan Cave in Ibra are just some of Oman’s prominent caves.
The Ministry of Tourism is currently planning to exploit various tourism resources in the various governorates to promote the growth of tourism in each area through the development and investment of the caves.
Tanfeedh developed 15 tourism initiatives to enhance the tourism sector in the Sultanate. Such initiatives include activities of nature and adventure, which aim to encourage private investment in natural sites.
Dawood Al Rashdi, acting director of the Tourism Product Development Department at the Ministry of Tourism, believes that the ministry’s prior success in rehabilitations will encourage investment.
