Ahmed Dabbous, Muriya’s CEO said: “The success of Golf Lake mirrors the solid progress achieved through our efforts to attract long-term investment in the sultanate’s tourism, hospitality and real estate sectors.

“With our Jebel Sifah golf course ready, several F&B outlets opening and a series of events being hosted in our destination throughout the year, we are looking forward to a very exciting development phase for Jebel Sifah.”
