Why this file matters
The strategy Khasab is being measured against
How much money is actually being committed, and whether the property market is picking up the signal.
MOHUP positions Musandam around eco-tourism, fisheries, agriculture, quarrying and its unique geographic position. The spatial strategy emphasises controlled development, functional zoning and the protection of natural beauty as the basis of future growth.
- Tourism is explicitly framed as the main driver of Musandam's future economy.
- The strategy still expects supporting roles from fisheries, agriculture, trade and quarrying rather than a one-sector story.
- The official planning approach is unusually spatially strict because land claiming, ecological protection and phased master plans all matter here.
