The Sultanate of Oman has achieved a new international milestone, advancing to third place globally in the Numbeo Quality of Life Index<\/a> for the first half of 2026, while simultaneously maintaining its top position at both the Asian and Arab levels.<\/p>\n

This follows its fourth-place global ranking during the same period in 2025, marking further confirmation of the continued improvement in quality of life and the enhancement of Oman\u2019s appeal as a destination for living, investment, and stability.<\/p>\n

Although many international indices base their assessments on economic performance or gross domestic product, the Quality of Life Index adopts a different perspective, measuring the daily quality of life of residents through a set of factors directly related to living details, such as safety levels, purchasing power, healthcare, cost of living, property price-to-income ratio, average daily commuting time, pollution levels, and climate suitability.<\/p>\n

This achievement is consistent with the approach adopted by Oman in developing cities and urban centres through the preparation of comprehensive structural plans and the development of future cities aimed at building more efficient, sustainable, and higher-quality urban environments.<\/p>\n

The launch of the Greater Muscat<\/a> project represents a strategic milestone in reshaping the capital’s urban landscape, through an integrated planning vision aimed at building a more connected, vibrant, and sustainable city. This will improve the efficiency of the transport and mobility network, bringing services and facilities closer to residential neighbourhoods, and enhancing urban environmental quality, in line with global best practices in modern city planning.<\/p>\n

Sultan Haitham City<\/a> continues to make notable progress in its construction works, alongside the ongoing development of a range of future cities and urban projects, including A\u2019Thuraya City, Salalah Future City, Al Jabal Al A’ali (High Mountain\u201d project) and the Al Khuwair Downtown.<\/p>\n

The Quality of Life Index is issued by the global Numbeo Index, established in 2009 and the largest specialised database for comparing cost of living and quality of life among countries and cities worldwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
