Oman economic and bilateral development

Overview

Oman has demonstrated growth in its maritime, logistics, and tourism sectors. During the 2026 Khareef season, Oman Air saw a 9% increase in passengers to Salalah. Maritime activity at Shinas Port rose significantly, with ship arrivals increasing by approximately 156% compared to 2025, while the Sharjah–Oman logistics corridor reported a 66.26% rise in trade value.

Building on these sectoral developments, Oman has engaged in diplomatic discussions with Egypt to expand cooperation in urban development and tourism. High-level meetings in Muscat focused on sustainable urban planning, infrastructure, and exchanging technical expertise. Egyptian officials and Oman’s Ministry of Heritage and Tourism also discussed coordinating investment opportunities to enhance tourism capacity.
