Yes — but only in specific places, and the places are the whole answer. Here is the rule, where it applies, and what the title you receive actually is.
Property ownership can carry an Omani residence permit, and Oman levies no inheritance tax. The tiers are real; the thresholds attached to them are stated inconsistently across the market, and that is worth knowing before you buy on the strength of one.
An off-plan purchase in an Omani ITC runs to a fairly standard sequence. This is that sequence, with the Mira Ocean Estates payment schedule as the worked example.
The headline price is not the cost. These are the additional items on an Omani purchase, and the one significant item that is already inside the price here.
Fifty per cent across construction, fifty per cent on handover. Here is the schedule in full, and what it looks like against each published price.
For three months a year the Indian Ocean monsoon crosses Dhofar and turns a desert coastline green. It is the reason Salalah's property market behaves unlike anywhere else in the Gulf.
Salalah is the capital of Dhofar and the second city of Oman — a port, a free zone, an international airport, and a coastline that behaves like nowhere else on the Peninsula.
Nine and a third hectares of Arabian Sea beachfront inside Hawana Salalah, adjacent to the marina, twenty-five minutes from the airport.
Standing note
The guides are general information, current at the date shown on each, and are not legal advice. Take a written opinion from Omani counsel before contracting. Contact the desk for anything specific to your purchase.
