Spanning 225,000 sqm, Rimal Park is strategically located near the main road connecting Muscat to North Al Batinah, making it easily accessible for visitors. The park will also offer camping units, an equestrian school, and various activities aimed at supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the region.
Masoud bin Saeed Al Hashimi, Governor of South Al Batinah, emphasised that the project represents a significant investment opportunity and aims to transform the area into a premier eco-tourism destination. The park’s location, coupled with its diverse attractions, is expected to draw both local and international tourists.
