Buying off-plan from abroad comes down to one question: is it actually being built? These photographs and this footage show AIDA, Dar Global’s cliff-top community in Yiti, Muscat, in November 2026. We publish site updates as we receive them, next to the AIDA homes you can buy today.

How we keep this information accurate

Foreign buyers decide from a distance, so what we publish has to be current. On AIDA, that means:

  • Every asking price on our AIDA listings is checked against Dar Global’s own availability list. The most recent check was on November 6, 2026.
  • A home that is no longer on the developer’s latest list comes off our site as sold. We do not keep old stock online to draw enquiries.
  • Each listing shows the date it went live, so you can see how fresh it is.
  • We describe only what the site photographs show. We do not quote a percentage complete or a handover date for a whole phase; each home carries the developer’s own expected handover.

Watch: the AIDA site from the air, November 2026

Drone footage of the AIDA site, November 2026. Footage: Dar Global. The opening shot is the developer’s render of the finished coastline; everything after it is the site as it stands.

Apartment blocks

Several mid-rise apartment buildings have their concrete structure up to roof level. Facade work is under way behind scaffolding and protective netting, and tower cranes are still on site.

Townhouses and villas

Long rows of two-storey townhouses are framed to the roof slab, with internal roads cut between them. A few units already carry a white rendered finish: the first look at how a finished street will read.

On the cliff edge

On the seaward ridge, the first villas are rising at the edge of the cliff, above the Gulf of Oman. They are at an earlier structural stage than the townhouses.

About AIDA

AIDA is a joint venture between Dar Global, the London-listed international arm of Dar Al Arkan, and Omran Group, Oman’s tourism development company. The masterplan covers about 5 million square metres in Yiti, which the developer places around 10 minutes from downtown Muscat, on a hilltop about 130 metres above the sea.

Alongside homes, the plan includes Marriott-branded residences and a resort with an 18-hole championship golf course, Trump International Oman, which the developer has scheduled to open in December 2028.

Who is building it

  • Infrastructure: Oman Shapoorji Company was awarded a RO 9.3 million contract for Phase 1 infrastructure in June 2024.
  • Homes: Al Adrak Trading & Contracting holds the main works contract for The Great Escape apartments and the Phase 1 villas.
  • Financing: Dar Global announced financing for AIDA from National Bank of Oman in February 2025.

14 homes at AIDA are available through Alwalaa today, from OMR 126,800. Open any one for its floor area, payment plan and expected handover, and ask about that exact home from its page.

Can foreigners buy at AIDA?

Yes. AIDA homes are freehold for all nationalities. Ownership can also make the buyer eligible to apply for an Oman residence permit. Eligibility is decided by the Royal Oman Police, not by the developer or by us; what that means is set out here.
