This route connects three stations, with the first station located at the port, between the Muttrah fish market and the Muttrah waterfront project. This station serves as the main entry point for visitors and includes ticketing and reception facilities, cafes, and other services.
The cable car then moves to the summit station, located between the Muttrah Fort and Al Riyam Park, and finally reaches the Hay Al Ward station inside Al Riyam Park near the Muscat Gate.
This project, with an approximate length of 3 kilometers, is expected to bring a new attraction in tourism and recreation for Muscat, offering panoramic views of the Muttrah Bay, surrounding mountains, and the sea, along with cultural and recreational experiences at its stations.
