Al Araimi Boulevard (ABLVD), an innovative retail development concept soon to rise in Muscat, is set to become Oman’s new destination mall that will attract tourists and residents alike.
Expected to open in September, Al Raid Group - developer of ABLVD - welcomed the visit of Muscat Municipality chiefs Engineer Mohsin Al Sheikh, chairman of Muscat Municipality and Engineer Badar Ali Al Bahri, director general of Muscat Municipality, Seeb, who toured the development.

The Muscat Municipality has taken the initiative to visit important projects currently being constructed within the municipality to ensure that their needs are being met to complete their work and coordinate with designated specialists should the need arise, to facilitate progress and completion on time.
Al Bahri commented: “The Al Araimi Boulevard is set to become Oman’s new destination mall. With amazing skylights and hard work invested by the Al Raid Group, we are confident it will be a successful venture. The area planning and overall structure of the mall is highly attractive and unique. This will be another milestone for Sheikh Abdullah Al Araimi and a legacy by Al Raid Group for creating successful destinations for the Omani consumers.”
