Excellent Infrastructure

Transport
Construction of infrastructure facilities began based on the objectives of the first Five-Year-Plan (1976-1980) which coincided with the oil boom period. This prompted the growth of non-oil sectors. Oman now has 8,477 kilometres of paved roads 

There is a modern international airport that handles around 38,184 inbound and outbound flights and around 2.7 million passengers per annum. 

Furthermore, Oman’s modern seaports (Mina Sultan Qaboos, Muscat and Salalah Port) and other utilities compliment the industrial sector as they act as the export points for the national products. The expansion of the Salaam port, which is close to major international container traffic route between Europe and the Far East, is aimed at making Oman an international re-export center. The Sohar port is also one of the important natural ports in Oman as its waters are deep and is not affected by sea conditions. 

Telecommunications
The Sultanate is served by an efficient, state-of-the art telecommunications system that is continuously being upgraded with new technology. The entire transmission network is gradually being replaced with fiber optic cables, and is almost 100% digital. Satellite links allow sending and accessing data rapidly. A full range of Internet services is available, making global information and quick communication freely accessible to all.
