What's happened in 2026 hasn't changed that thesis \u2014 it has accelerated it. And now, one month into my April analysis, <strong>the data is confirming what I called<\/strong>: Gulf real estate investment into Oman grew 95.3%, the credit rating is investment-grade, and the government has launched an AI zone, secured $520M in industrial deals, and signed 24 logistics agreements \u2014 all in the last 30 days.<\/p>\r\n <p>The residency enquiries I'm seeing from GCC families right now are not panic moves. They are <strong>rational portfolio decisions<\/strong> \u2014 and Oman's Family Residency Visa from US$64,000 makes that decision very easy to act on.<\/p>\r\n <p>My view remains unchanged: <strong>invest with the government. Sultan Haitham City gives you sovereign-backed security at a time when developer risk is elevated.<\/strong> But now I'd add: watch the AI Zone and Duqm corridor closely. The industrial deals being locked in today will drive property demand in those areas through 2028\u20132030.<\/p>\r\n <p>This is a market for <strong>prepared, patient investors with a 5\u20137 year horizon<\/strong> \u2014 not short-term speculators.
