Duqm: The Wilayat of Duqm is undergoing comprehensive improvement in the areas of public services, infrastructure, entertainment and marketing. The rapid growth in those areas is inspired by ongoing economic and tourism projects, as well as projects that will be implemented in the near future at the Special Economic Zone at Duqm (SEZAD).

Like other fast-growing economic hotspots, the Wilayat of Duqm boasts a full set of government institutions and commercial establishments, said Adil Amer Al Yaf’ee, Deputy Wali of Duqm.

In particular, the establishment of SEZAD added momentum to the growth of the wilayat and generated many gains that also extended to adjoining wilayats in the Governorate of Al Wusta.

Projects already established in the wilayat include the Port of Duqm, a dry dock, a refinery, an airport and other projects scheduled to be implemented in the next few years, said Al Yaf’ee, noting that the wilayat is being prepared to become a major destination for investors, businessmen and tourists from different countries of the world.
