Ground is soon to break on a $104m mega indoor theme park in Oman, following the signing of an agreement between the FBF Group of Companies (FBF) and Arab Malaysia Development Company (AMDC) to develop the Majarat Oman resort.

The Al Sawadi Beach Resort, halfway between the Omani cities of Muscat and Sohar, will host the 25,000sq.m attraction, which is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2016.

Majarat Oman aims to cater to the whole family with a diverse range of fun-filled activities and will have four zones for the convenience of the visitors.

These park zones will include Alien Colony, Fuzzie's World, Space Station and Neptune Water Park, hosting a diverse spectrum of amusement and entertainments.

"Upon completion, the park will be able to provide more than 300 permanent job opportunities for Omanis and more part time jobs for the local community and tremendous SME opportunities for Omanis within the local community," spokesman Ahmed bin Mohammed al Jabri said.

Visitors to Majarat Oman will enjoy a number of Oman's firsts that will take them through a journey of adrenaline pumping rides, unforgettable themed experiences and thrilling live performances and shows.

Syed Asad Ali, managing partner at AMDC, said: "We are quite optimistic that the proposed water theme park to be constructed within Al Sawadi Beach Resort compound would be a one-stop destination for the whole family where every single member of the family would be offered something of their preferences."

AMDC was established in 2011. It has interests in real estate development, hospitality and family entertainment centres.

Majarat Oman is the first undertaking by the company in Oman, which shall be developed by Amusement Cities, a SPV formed by AMDC.
